Anyone fitted a 160mm (or more) fork to their Zesty? Seen one in Dirt magazine this month, and it got me thinking.....
Has anyone else done this and also is the frame warrantied for a longer fork??
Being a 514 owner I'd imagine it to be a blinder on the downs and a pig to climb with..
I'm sure in a recent issue of Dirt one of the Lappierre pro riders said he rode the zest with a bigger fork. Think it was rene wildhaber. Though, he rides mainly dh enduro type stuff.
Friend of mine was running his with a 36 Float , but had travel reduced to 140mm, I did the same on my Orange 5 , mine tracked like a missile , much stiffer than the 32 Float with a 15mm axle.
I run mine with a Talas 150mm on and wind it down to 110mm for climbing and then wind it up for the downhills perfect 😀
A Spicy maybe?
The latest issue of Dirt...one of the magazine team rode a carbon Zesty 914 with a big fork for some French Enduro race and there's a picture of it slathered in mud.
I don't think the race required climbing...
