Which wheel with passive suspension is best for me?

The optimal suspension wheel for you depends on how much offroad riding you'll be doing. We find that suspension wheels are generally more comfortable than non-suspension wheels, as they eat up bumps that lead to increased rider fatigue. Our latest video comparing the production V11 and S18 models sums this up pretty well.

If it's going to be a pretty even mix of trails and on-road riding or a more road-leaning mix, the V11 would probably be a better bet since it is a more complete package than the S18 (bigger battery, higher top speed, dual charge ports, etc.). The  V11 is also comfortable is because it is ergonomically designed and just feels better to ride.

If you'll be mostly offroading, the S18 may be a better choice as the shock is more adjustable and responds better to offroad conditions than the V11. The S18 sacrifices some ergonomics for the sake of suspension performance.
