Strengths:
stiff light frame, yet strong short chainstays, good for climbing and technical rides
Weaknesses:
long toptubes, my 19,5" L frame feels like XL
no V-brake bosses
Similar Products Used:
too much to mention
Bike Setup:
LX allaround, hayes MX1, RS Tora 302 85-130, quando + rigida wheels, wide 680mm riser bars, short 55mm stem
Bottom Line:
this is actually for ZX 6900 Trail 2003 model which seem to be simmilar
steers precise, though not too flickery in forks 130mm mode - i'd say a perfect combo + you can run the bars low - it has really short headtube
both wheels or rear wheel first loses contact in fast curves - easy to control and play around
when fork is lowered climbs like a goat
can take good beating, trail jumps
really hard trail with lot of fist sized rocks slows it down, - steel rides much smoother then alu in these circumstances (well it's a personal preference)
anyway good bike, very playfull, you'll have fun on it
