24" M41 - Anyone bought one recently?

Has anyone reviewed the current 24” Mad4One Municycles (the one with a 4” tyre)? I’m looking for something that’s good for short, technical rides, something I can really control and use to build my skills. My other unicycle is an Oracle 29er which is very good but hard to get back into after not riding it for a while. I’m having trouble finding any reviews on this 24” one, even after searching for an hour.

Thought i’d give this topic a reboot to see what opinions are.

While I’ve not ridden the mentioned uni, I’d say: a 4" tire might not be an ideal for technical rides if you’re aiming for control. At this width, nearly all tires have autosteer and require much force for tight turns. I’d rather recommend something around 2.8"

Not tested this one, but I wonder whether a 4" tire is the right call if you’re looking for something that you can control. I’d say it is so massive that it would control you: you don’t chose where you go, the uni choses for you. If I’d were to try and build my skill, I think I’d get something narrower.
But, again, just 2 cents from a guy who hasn’t ridden this particular uni :face_with_peeking_eye:

Edit: I hadn’t seen Eric’s answer. It looks like we’re on the same wavelength!

I have a little different take. My M4O frame/Large Marge 24” unicycle has become my choice for most rides. However, I do not ride with a 4” tire. I started with a 2.8” Specialized Big Roller, which worked great. Then, I switched the tire to a Vee Tire Speedster 24X3.5” tire. That tire is wide enough for me. In the photos below, you can see that I normally don’t use the full width of the tire. But, the fat tire DOES make the diameter closer to a 26” tire, and the fat tire does act like a suspension system.

The only time I have lost traction with the Speedster tire was this past week when I rode after a day of heavy rain. I rode through layer of mud that was covering a cambered sidewalk, and the tire “floated” on the slippery mud. That happened twice. I was able to control the slide and step off into a light run each time.
