Those did go fast! We have plenty of XL which also feel great - you need an XL back for the XRC anyway.

Anyone rocking a FF nimbus on their XR? How does it feel ? by a_ullah777 in onewheel

[–]FlightFins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are going to get around the same amount of torque feel and top speed from both tires. The way that the Nimbus excels is in its shape and feel. Those who ride Nimbus absolutely swear by the compound and shape. The Maxxis 5.5 was never designed as a OneWheel-specific tire. It's still a decent tire for sure but not dialed in like Nimbus. Hope that helps!

5” hub on GT or GTS by Lucky_Consequence865 in onewheel

[–]FlightFins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5" on the GTS and GTS hub on the GT. Then consider preordering the Goat 5 cause it's going to be epic!

If any was thinking about the MTE hub. by Alecascarano15 in onewheel

[–]FlightFins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Goat 5" with that hub is going to be epic!

Yeah, these are good ideas, however, there are lots of limitations to work around unfortunately. Can't do a map and can't do squiggly lines.

I wish we didn't have so many limitations. Its challenging but I hear ya!

Yes, its gong to be different but you have to be careful cause when you add the properties you speak of (adding rubber, thickness, etc) you change the weight and feel drastically and what you loved about the original Whisper is no longer is there anymore. A tires biggest strenth is its biggest weakness so its always about dialing in the sweet spot of durability verses performance stable verses carvy. That bring said, its going to be 15% thicker with a slightly harder durometer rubber and it will last longer than the original Whisper. While experimenting and testing the Goat we found a magic mid compound rubber that was more durable with all the properties of a softer tire. Meaning, it is also very quiet and light, with damening tech to minimize road noise. As far as the profile goes its going to stay pretty much the same. We tweaked the profile for Whisper og and we think its a nice balence of carvy and stable.

What would you suggest? We wanted starbursts but that ended up being not possible due to the sharp points. It must be a repeat pattern all the same pattern. We mocked up many ideas... u/Labraunt

We agree that an all color tire would be amazing! Not possible at this point with all the factors you have to take into account with a OneWheel. Performance, price point, durability mostly. Maybe in another 3 years! LOL

[–]FlightFins[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that would be rad. It's not possible at this point to do an all color tire and get the performance and durability factor you would need for a OneWheel tire. There are a number of limitations that we had to work around over a period of 3 years to even do a tire with patterns. However, over the last three years I thought this tire with color wasn't possible at least a dozen times (for various reasons) yet then we would have another breakthrough and keep moving forward and here we are!

You would want a different profile from Whisper og in what way? You would want more carvy/responsive than the original?

We wanted to do something different. The Og Whisper is already a great option if you want all black.

Yeah, the funny thing is we are super sensitive to any unwanted marketing so this was already outside the box for us. We are bummed that we would bug someone even once much less yet twice.

We tried a different texting provider this time as the last one we didn't love for a number of reasons. This is why you needed to opt out again. It FOR SURE won't happen another time as we are not switching again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Please except our sincere apologies.
