Day 3 kingsong S18 unicycle review

I picked this up a few days ago after my V11 died (fried mosfet or fuse when doing a tiny hop up a curb) because it seemed a lot more durable in performance testing videos.

I've already crashed it once when coming up to an intersection curb too fast, with no damage to me or the S18. And I've already tried hopping a bigger curb than what killed the V11. So far so good. I've also dropped it a few times while practicing riding backwards.

However, the "feel" of it is inferior to the V11 in pretty much every way except for suspension, although the 10lb weight reduction is nice when carrying it up stairs.

I've put about 40 miles on it so far, and I'm finding it more "snappy" than the V11 but less "tight". It rattles and gets speed wobbles a lot easier.

Overall I'm happy with my purchase but I do miss my V11.

I think my next purchase in a year or so will be the V22 Pro, once it's on the final batch and the remaining kinks are worked out (water proofing and suspension slider/roller issues).

Oh and the inmotion app was way better.

S18: 5/5 durability, 3/5 ride feel V11: 0/5 durability, 5/5 ride feel
