The nice folks over at bikeradar have recently reviewed our brand new Zen 2.

While I’m not one to cry over spilt milk and take reviews with a pinch of salt, some of my thoughts…

The fork might not be to their liking but the bike was £300 less than the others on test, and it features QR15.

Too heavy? It was the third lightest bike on test.

Not much mud clearance – sorry don’t agree with this. We’ve got 80mm – check out the picture below with a 2.35″ highroller in the frame…

“Sharp power delivery and obvious mainframe stiffness overlaid onto fast rolling tyres mean it consistently feels a lot more sprightly than its weight suggests, and the amount of time we spent near the top end of the gear block confirms its impressive turn of speed on the singletrack.”

Sounds good.

Bit of a mixed review. I’d say make your own opinion and try one out a local dealer.

Cheers

Simon
