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.
