Strengths: It's Titanium cleanly welded. That's a great start. The geometry and the fit did the rest.Weaknesses: Head badge fell off. So what.Bottom Line: The VooDoo "Dambala" was the best fitting and riding hardtail I had ever ridden.......Until I sat on this "Zaka". What a great ride. Same geometry, but the ride is noticeably better.
This is the frame for the guy who likes the Ti ride and wants a very agile 29er hardtail. Wonderful in the technical stuff.
Favorite Trail: Cemetary Trail
Duration Product Used: 3 months
Purchased At: CRUM Cycles
Similar Products Used: VooDoo 29" "Dambala" - Steel version of this same frame.
Bike Setup: Sram Drive train - w/ Race Face Cranks - set up as 2x9 - Rigid SRP Fork - Control Tech Stem, bars, and seatpost - Terry fly saddle - Halo Rims and hubs - Tires - they change - right now it has studded tires on it. It's winter ferchrisakes.

Strengths: This frame is beautiful to look at, very light, and rides with a supple, yet somewhat springy feel that is never jarring. The handling is perfect - not too snappy, not too slow. It's a joy to ride. It comes with everything you need to ride geared or single-speed, disc or v-brakes.Weaknesses: I don't know if it's the frame, but under high pedal pressure, I hear a slight purr from the chain that I didn't hear with the same component set-up on a steel frame. I wonder if it's the Ti flexing a bit under load, but I need to check the chain line to make sure.Bottom Line: I got this frame on sale. If a versatile hardtail 29er is what you want, and if you can find one of these for a similar or better price (and I'm sure you can), buy it.
Favorite Trail: I ain't tellin'
Duration Product Used: 3 months
Price Paid:
$1200.00
Purchased At: ebay dealership
Similar Products Used: I've never had a Ti frame before, but it rides nicer and feels lighter than my Niner S.I.R. 9. I also have an older Salsa Dos Niner, and again I like the Voodoo better.
Bike Setup: Single-speed, rigid, using On One's carbon fork. Jones bars, King hubs with Stan's tubeless rims, Juicy 7 brakes with a 185 rotor up front round out this sweet package.
