Torker AX update

I just got this reply via email from the Torker importer:

Do you think it is worth waiting for over an LX?
••••••••••••••••••••••
These unicycles should arrive late February… most dealers can receive
orders within 2 business days. The specs are very similar to the LX
models, but with an alloy frame. Pricing? Well, we are a wholesale
distributor only, so dealer prices may vary… but MSRP’s are as
follows:
TORKER 29" AX UNISTAR ALLOY UNICYCLE $264.99
BLACK
TORKER 24" AX UNISTAR ALLOY UNICYCLE $209.99
BLACK
TORKER 20" AX UNISTAR ALLOY UNICYCLE $204.99
BLACK

Thank-you for your inquiry!

so what is this thresd about?

I personally wouldn’t wait for it. I would just get the lx unless you plan on getting a 29er. But even in that case I would just buy a nimbus.

Shoot. I guess that puts that nice 29er out of my budget. Guess I’ll have to keep saving up.

If it has a flat crown, than I would say you should definatly wait if you hope/plan on doing any freestyle as if you have that, then I doubt you ever need anything else. Those sound like some pretty awesome unis.

I think the 29er looks great and I would totally go for it if I didn’t have the go big or go home attitude and insist on getting a coker.

I wouldn’t quite say that just yet, the MSRP for the DX is something like $399 yet at most places it sells for $250

with the sloping crown, i think i’d only even think about the 29er, the 20 would be nice and light but the round crown would be bad for most freestyle tricks.

Seriously? I thought the MSRP was like $270…

No, it was $350, I just looked it up again online, and I remember because I was working at a bike shop at the time of its release.

I emailed them a while back and they gave me a price of $199…
