from Tucson, AZ Date Reviewed: August 7, 2009 Strengths: Light weight, climbs like nothing I have ever ridden, fast overall, great component group, stiff frame Weaknesses: Not a brand name that will impress (if you are into that- I am not) Ghetto fab "Zaskar" lettering looks like an Ace Hardware job Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: 50 Year Trail Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $1850.00 Purchased At: Performance Similar Products Used: Lots of bikes over the years. Bike Setup: Stock except for added wider tires. Stock Kenda 2.0's were light but got too many flats here in the land of sharp rocks and cactus debris. My 180# weight plus Camelback doesn't with pinch flats that either and the 2.0 width tires didn't do well for me.

from fort washington, pa Date Reviewed: June 13, 2009 Strengths: this bike is super light and responsive which makes it great for those long climbs. the parts on it are really nice ( all xt with xtr shifters) and the bike actually looks good (whereas many companies get too stylish with the design). even for an avid cyclist/ racer this bike is great out of the box. Weaknesses: doesnt come with tubeless tires and if you get dirt into the seat tube this bike squeaks more than many other bikes ive ridden. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: valley green Duration Product Used: 3 months Purchased At: dirt coalition team Similar Products Used: older zaskars, IF steel deluxe, fetish cycles HT with full xtr and race face, older trek 6000, 08 stumpjumper FS Bike Setup: stock- because everything works well. But i just put an order in for a king bb and some carbon bars and a seatpost.

Handling is so neutral that it took no time at all to get comfortable and let it loose on descents and fast sweepers. Weaknesses: Can't think of any. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: GT Dirt Coalition Te Similar Products Used: Specialized S Works hardtail / Scott LTD Bike Setup: Mavic tubeless / XT / XTR/ Fox 100 RL/ Ritchey

from Arvada, CO, USA Date Reviewed: January 30, 2009 Strengths: Zaskar...what else can I say. This is my 7th. Nothing climbs like or descends like the Zaskar geometry. The carbon is great and has an awesome feel. I worried a bit about it but it is a solid material and actually less affected by fatigue over time than metals. I swapped a few of the XT components that came with this for XTR and XO. It is about 21 lbs. and the 100 mm fork is great. I am used to older Zaskars with 80mm. Weaknesses: I can't think of one. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Any and All Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $2700.00 Purchased At: Performance Similar Products Used: I have had may Zaskars...6 or 7 and currently still have a '98, an '01 and then my '08 carbon pro. I come from a BMX background and NOTHING compares to the Zaskar geometry up or down. It is proven. Bike Setup: I am a hardtail holdout. I went to a dual for a season and when GT came out with these in carbon I had to get one. I almost waited too long and got the last Medium that Performance had. I swapped some of the XT out for XTR, put a longer stem on it and a longer Thompson seatpost. It is setup very BMX style...which are my roots and handles amazingly both climbing and descending.
