product description
The Nimbus Gremlin trials unicycle is a great trials unicycle with its large volume tire and strong ISIS CroMo hub. Combining one of the lightest tires on the market with super grip and you get this green beast of a unicycle.
The Nimbus Gremlin trials unicycle was designed to go over obstacles without any part of the rider touching the ground. Obstacle courses can be made specifically for trials. Often these obstacles are walls, rails, and many other elements of the urban environment (also known as a session-style sport).
You can also practice trials with standard unicycles but they are not designed to withstand the impacts that this kind of riding can create. The Nimbus Gremlin trials unicycle is specially designed for this type of use.

Why are 20 x 2.5 tires also called 19” tires?
A. When trials biking was first starting they stipulated that the rear tire must be 20” in diameter. The bike riders wanted a tires with more cushioning for their rear wheel so Monty took a 1” smaller old scooter rim and tire (which is nominally 20" in diameter) and used that instead of the standard 20" tire. To help differentiate between the two tire sizes the non-standard small rim tires are called 19".
