The photo is just that, a photo. It could be a photo of a 36" Coker tire or a chocolate donut. When they actually market the new Coker unicycle I just wonder what the wheel size is going to be. I haven't heard any more noise about a bigger wheel and I can't second guess Coker's intentions. It would just be nice if it were bigger and, as of yet, it appears to be unspecified.

can i also mention there isnt an arrow pointing to the tyre... and they mention an XLR tyre. so maybe it is new/different.

also the saddle could be very nice, and even include a groove kh freeride style. From the pic you cant see. if they keep the price then this is awesome.

I'm guessing they changed it for the same reason car makers change car designs--it creates demand. People want the newest and latest. If it looked just like the old ones, there would be no (or less) reason to buy it.

That's sweet! It's like a cheaper, lighter, and better coker deluxe.

I know! I'd probably be more like 14lbs without all those extra spokes.

I much prefer the standard frame. Not sure about the silver though, but it doesn't look bad! Can't wait to see the other tire option.

I like the standard frame and you could always powdercoat anyway, but the new frame would be a cool novelty type frame(that is if it really has no extra benifits than looking cool) I want to see the new tire too, I love the huge leaps that the distance unicycling equipment has taken recently. It makes for a lot of cool new options and the ability to upgrade if you wanted.

Would the 4legged frame have less flex? I sure think it would.

it probably would, but it looks more like a bit of cosmetic overkill, sure it might be less flexy but it just looks so, I dunno, it looks so well like it's more of a showy thing than a function thing, the same affect could have probably been acomplished with a smaller tubing or something I dunno it's just my opinion though...
