I did a search and read a lot of older threads, but I was wondering if anyone had any recent experience with the new Torker DX that is supposed to be lighter (with a 36 spoke wheel) vs. the Nimbus Muni 24. The price difference is insignificant (about $25), but are there other factors I should consider? The primary rider of this unicycle will be my 13 year old son (about 100 lbs), whose skills are improving rapidly, although I will also ride it (180 lbs). We have the good fortune to live in an area with good Muni potential (North Georgia).
Get the Nimbus…
Support Unicycle.com, they’re in Marietta Georgia 
I have had nothing but good times with my Nimbus’ (20", 36") and have Nimbus hubs in all of my uni’s (including my 24" and 26" muni’s and a 29" hybrid).
Torkers are great but the Nimbus 24" muni is time-tested. The Torker’s (new ones) haven’t been around too long and the old style, while bomber, is lacking a bit.
Just my opinion though…
I have last year’s Torker, the one with 48 spokes, so I can’t comment on the weight, but the Nimbus comes with a 3" tire and brake mounts, which the Torker does (did) not. I don’t know if those factors will weigh into your decision or not, but may be worth considering. I know people who have opted for the lighter tire due to weight, and for the heavier tire for its width.
Nevertheless I have been extremely happy with the Torker DX.
I love my Nimbus Muni. It is extremely versatile, and is built like a tank. I have had mine for over a year, and have not broken a single part.
I would recommend the Nimbus, but I can’t speak for the Torker.
