Missus is looking at one as it’s looking tough to get a TRC in the right size to demo.
Anyone got this as stock build? General comments?

It has the press fit Shimano BB is this the one that is failing all over the shop?

What are the wheels like not had any eastons before? Worth it over Hope ProII Evo/XM719?

Cheers

I have 2010 version. For me it’s been a brilliant bike. Just change the BB for a good one. It’s just Klingon. I’ve done Trans alps, bike parks, 12,24 hour solo on it. Italy, Vietam, Spain, Andorra. Can say its very light weight and capable up and down. I have added dropper post, Havoc 55mm stem and 710mm bars. Run maxxis Ardent LUST. Just changed bearings after 2.5 years and on mileage that’s pretty good. I’m just waiting for 2013 version.

For me it how the bike works as a package. I need a do it all bike from bike park, enduro, trail centre, solo 24 to mtb touring. Remember it’s also about the rider. Zesty is fast down and up 😉

Sounds convincing!
