Bike Setup:
zig ziag, z1 dropoffs, gusset pigmy, all top parts.
Bottom Line:
oh my god, i got this bike thinking i could use it for bsx, i sat on it once i had built it up and knew i could use it for DH. it feels like it has loads more travel than it does, stick a 180mm travel fork on and the back still feels plush! get it if use need a great all round bike. better than patriot lt, or stinky primo, or giant ac team.

Strengths:

welds on b/b so large that it's difficult to run a chain guide w/ the little screws that go into the b/b to keep it from moving.
Similar Products Used:
'02 specailized enduro pro, '01 gt rukus
Bike Setup:
marzocchi dirt jumper 1, hope brakes & hubs, planet-x rims, race face crankset, primo pedals, azonic bars, knuckle sandwich stem. (thats right - huckin style!)
Bottom Line:
i actually have an '02 zig zag ss. this is the baddest, most jumpinest, chick attracting magnet you will (n)ever ride. jumps like it was specifically designed for dirt jumping instad of dual slalom. 6 foot drops... nothing. 20 foot gaps... nothing. just like my dh without the big a$$ bike. 10 times the bike that my enduro pretended to be. 5 flaming dead horses!!!
