- I just got the 655 enduro from the float life and wanted to put out a review as well as compare the 6.5”, 6” and 5” hub and tire options for the Onewheel GT, GTS, XR, Pint and Pint X. I have ridden around 1000 miles on my one wheels and tried many of the different tires out. #onewheel #thefloatlife #onewheelnation

Great review! there are so much options right now, its good to have a good video
Thanks!
Awesome review. My 655 just arrived. You've confirmed my plan. I have two GT boards so I'm going to run the 655 Enduro on one and Burris on the other (similar to your Vega). Enduro will be for pavement / dry conditions, Burris will be for wet/muddy. I live in the northeast so the conditions will change by the day, especially this time of year.
Nice, I've been curious to try the burris tx-22 in the mud. A lot of people have said it's a really good all around tire. I opted for the vega w6 though for the super aggressive tread. It does really well in the mud, snow and ice.
@@irionmotorsports Yea it's probably in between Enduro and Vega/Pioneer. I've ridden Enduro (6.5) and it slips easily on wet grass for example whereas the Burris (tx-22) I have doesn't. Vega probably makes more sense for your riding, sounds like. But I do a lot of pavement so it's nice to have a more hybrid option that feels good on pavement but also bites fairly well into wet grass, soggy gravel, mud, snow.
I might still buy Pioneer 5 inch when it becomes available. Next winter I'd run Burris / Pioneer, ditch Enduro for the winter.
Yeah, if TFL came out with a 5" pioneer I would run it all year round.
@@irionmotorsports it’s coming AFAIK !
Great review, thanks for going thru all the different options. Lets see the trails now!
Thanks man! Is that something you want to see? I always get bored watching videos of people riding their onewheels around. It doesn't seem like you can tell much about the tire from that kind of footage, so I didn't include any.
@@irionmotorsports Yeah, I think you should have ended it with a small trail ride at least! Always like to see what other people are riding. Everyone seems to like riding street, but for me trails are the only way to go. Float on!
That's good feedback. Thanks!
Great video, thanks for posting!
Sure thing! Thanks
Nice review! I’m so thankful you did show me 25 minutes of riding your OneWheel and then just comment at the end saying something like , “Yeah, this tire rips!” 😂 This was my type of review. You shared info, experience, comparisons, and got the new tire on and gave us a little heads up on how the new tire feels. I appreciate that.
Thanks man! It drives me nuts when I watch a tire review and it's just some guy riding it around for 20 min. Appreciate the feedback.
@@irionmotorsports hey man have you ever messed around with making a GTR? I’m curious what the XR hub and tire would feel like on a GT. I might have an option for that before i can save up the money for a 5” hub.
No, the gts is much better suited to the n52 magnets. If you put an XR hub on it you would lose a lot of torque. I'm a heavy rider an often carry heavy items and kids on my onewheel, so the torque is the most important thing for me. I don't have a gt, but you probably wouldn't notice much of a difference in torque. I just don't know if it would be worth it. You're only gaining 1/2" in diameter which is 1/4" of sidewall. If you try it out, let me know how you like it.
Love it, your review is excellent!
Thanks!
I had tfl 655. Went to vega w6 due to grip issues. W6 heads and tails grippier especially in the mud. But spring is here and going back to tfl 6.5!!!
Are you sure? The 655 just came out around two weeks ago. I ordered it the day it dropped and made this video the day it arrived. Maybe you had the 555? I agree on the grip. I messaged tfl the other day and they said they will be coming out with a 5" pioneer soon. I'm hoping I can run that year round instead of the vega.
I have the Vega and 555 the only issue I have with the Vega is it's smaller circumference. At 18 my board thought I was at 20 and hitting haptic buzz
Confusing was gonna get a new tire now. im thinking of just getting a new oneqheel
What do you have, and what are you thinking about getting?
Nice vid! What psi are you riding at?
Yeah, I realized after I made the video that I forgot to talk about psi. I put 15 in it to start, but I'm going to try lowering it and see how it responds.
Have you ever tried electric skateboards before?
No, I haven't. They look fun, but most of the riding I do is offroad. A lot of the trails are really rough.
Please update your email in your bio, I will contact you!
Ok, I've updated it.
