    I can borrow forks off a spicy for a trip to the alps next month. Would they work well on a zesty or mess up the ride?
    The extra travel isn’t required for huge jumps and drops but thought they may help with the braking bumps.
    140mm 32 fox float v 160mm 36 fox tallas for a few days of uplifts.

    I put a 36 talas on my old Zesty for a bit. It was alright but not quite right for the UK, either too long or too short to feel just right.

    Riding DH tracks was much easier though, so I say go for it!

    (Can’t you just take the Spicy though?)

    I didn’t like to ask. Ive got room to take my originals if they aren’t suitable so I think it’s got to be worth a go

    Do the 36’s. For uplift, it’s going to be better, UK riding I’m not sure.

    I think dirt said that lots of enduro riders rate 36s on zestys, best of both worlds with good climbing yet rocking the downhills. Do it. It will be well good.

    Tried a set of Marz 55 RC3’s on my Zesty and it just felt weird. I took them off and now run 140mm floats and it feels much more balanced.
