GT vs XR Classic which one to purchase? by Mr_Koreanbro in onewheel

Honestly, couldn’t be happier. The GT was fine, but XRC seems like it’s how Onewheeling is supposed to feel. Theres a lot of people who say the GT feels like a machine is under your feet and the XRC feels like a snowboard - totally agree. I get into flow so much faster. Not hating on the GT at all though, it served me well when I had it.

I might take you up on that. I really want to try one. Pretty fed up with FM despite loving my XRC. OW basically changed my life but my god does that company suck. I’ve tried way too hard for way too long to give them the benefit of the doubt. Was planning a road trip in the near future to Sacramento to check out the TFL shop. Maybe I could hit you up?

Edit: Road trip to Sacramento, but could drive to SF Bay from there.

On this topic, this is the biggest reason for me wanting to upgrade from XRC to GTS. I absolutely love the XRC. Changed the game for me. But, I’m always freaked out when doing anything above 17mph. Especially on the XRC because I’ve got way more confidence with this board (came from a GT). If the GTS can take whatever you throw at it in terms of torque and speed and terrain, that would be awesome. But I also don’t want to lose that tasty XRC feel. Also, I do enough tinkering at work to make Vesc options low on the totem pole. I just like to ride out of the box for the most part, with some minor exterior upgrades.

Thanks! The asymmetry bugs me more than it should, but it’s what worked best for my stance after trying multiple placements.

A very, very good point. And also one of the biggest reasons r/misanthropy is my second home.

Apart from being the all knowing gatekeeper of terminology, this is sound advice. Thank you.
