it all comes down to what you want to do with it. If you want to grip a corner and do some technical DH, holding a line, gripping, then the Kegel is way more superior. The durian is sure good for normal freeride, breaks traction easier etc: Although i would prefer the Otang Stims over the Durians because they slide smoother as they are smaller, its quite nice doing standup slides on and overall a better freeride wheel IMHO. I just see the durian as a big cruiser wheel that you can do some freeride on it too but there is way better options on the market that fit the needs of a freeride or DH wheel much better than the durians do.
Which one is better? Kegels or Durians?
Really depends on what you want to use them for.
For open road/dh stuff, Kegels are the one.
For freeride, learning to slide, Durians are the one

@@s.sumertas9206 Yeah really hit the nail on the head with that explanation.
Would pick a lot of other wheels over this one
Do some tutorials for sliding :D
To be honest, I'm terrible at explaining sliding. But I can give it a shot
