Mountain unicycling

Muni usually takes place on specially designed unicycles, which are equipped with strong hubs, large, knobbly tires, high-grip pedals and rugged frames.

[3] Muni riders also need a few additional skills than required for either mountain biking or regular unicycling, with core strength, endurance and balance being key.

Rims are rather broad to be sturdy and may have bores between the spoke holes to save weight, as a typical trial bike wheel.

The banana saddle is fixed (not spring suspended) on the fork and carries a front and back bumper made of stiff plastics.

A helmet camera needs a wide angle lens and picture stabilization, because the rider makes sudden and quick head movements to watch the trail.
