Picked this up beginning of the week, amazing bike to ride. A little on the porky side but then again one of the stiffest and most solid bikes I have ever ridden.
Took it for its first ride this afternoon and it absoutely shreds! It really is a bike you can just point and shoot and it just does what its told. The gearbox is amazing, so many benefits to it, shifting is instant and equires no pedalling to change gears. Not to mention just how silent it is!

Mate of mine has one, these bikes seriously make no noise & may be on the heavy side but its all perfectly weighted & ride so good.

That is the coolest / weirdest DH bike I've seen thus far............ need to rob a bank, or win lotto.

Love the Zerode. Would like to have one of those frames but with twins due any time soon a new DH rig is unlikely..............in the next 20+ years. Looks like you've got a sweet ride there.

Would you happen to know the weight of that bad boy?

how does she naturally ride? does it tend to pop or plow through things

Update, got some new stuff, Boxxer Teams, Renthal bars :02.47-tranquillity::02.47-tranquillity: and a shitload of mud from Awaba nationals which has now been cleaned off.
Anyone after a new bike/frame should seriously consider one of these, simply amazing.

Awesome looking ride mate. Are you really feeling the benefit of the rearward axle path and low unsprung weight when you bash into stuff?

Oh yes definitely, it is very noticeable (wel unnoticeable actually haha), literaaly just riding into square-edge hits it just eats them up, has to be ridden to be believed.
