Nimbus 5 Foot Giraffe

Stand out from the crowd around town and at events. 20" wheel, solid construction. *New improved design! Features UDC Safety Sprocket and CroMoly frame *

Great for performances and parades - these unicycles have a striking visual impact. Giraffe unicycles are fun to ride and help you stand out from the crowd. They are not difficult to ride once you have mastered a normal unicycle, though free-mounting can be challenging. A 5 foot giraffe unicycle is high enough to look impressive while still being practical and small enough to transport in your car boot without needing disassembly. The Nimbus 5 foot Giraffe Unicycle has been designed with the intermediate unicyclist in mind.

Fitted with the *New* UDC Safety Sprocket. This innovation forever eliminates slippage from the threaded sprockets found on cheap giraffes. Sprocket slippage on a giraffe can have sudden and catastrophic results. You can ride with confidence on the Nimbus 5 foot giraffe knowing this won't happen. For extra rigidity the Nimbus 5 footer's frame is built from CroMoly steel and is fitted with a Nimbus Gel seat with front handle for greater comfort.

Check the spec:

Seat: Black 2009 Nimbus Gel Saddle, gel padded saddle for more comfort and much, much stronger than seats found on other companys' giraffes.

Care must be taken when dismounting from giraffe unicycles not to drop them as this can sometimes bend the frame. Not recommended for workshops or the professional market.
