bump
Not tried the Zion but I have a koncept carbon which is a 90mm race full suss. Great frame, fast and super light, but, too light it would seem as hairline cracks have appeared at the top tube/seat tube jct.
Msc no longer trade in the UK so I'm trying to deal directly with MSC Spain about the warranty and not getting many replies to emails...
A mate of mine races a Koncept and has had the frame snap and it's a tad flexy.
😯 oh
If your in the market for a light carbon full suss try Canyon.
The Lux MR got a great review in What MTB. On their website there are 2009 discounted frames in the Outlet or a 2010 is about £1100ish.
21lb full bikes with XO & Mavic SLR's are about £2800, which would be £5K if it were Scott, Giant or Spesh.

MSC have already backed out of the UK market? They only lasted 20 minutes, that's a shame. Their frames look very good, although they do seem to have had some reliability issues. Dougal's got one, and it's very nice!
I had an Alu Zion - great frame adjustable travel, rode brilliantly. Actually regret selling it to a mate, who now isn't keen to sell it back!
Never had an issue with the frame, have heard the carbons just as good, but lighter - how cheap? There not exactly cheap to start with!
