here was a time when 29ers did not exist. The world’s fastest mountain bikers competed and won on 26″ bikes. Many argue that this is still the most nimble platform.
The Z26 is the real-deal. It comes with internal cable routing as well as a Zini Air Suspension Fork with Mg Lowers. The LT Woo 10 speed drivetrain doesn’t miss a beat and will ensure hours-worth of fun on the trails.
Oh, and did we mention that this bike is a looker?
