New bike came yesterday Zesty 314 2012, first ride last night, this bike is so fast up and down, it feels like I'm on a downhill bike on rough descents,can't wait for next ride?

+1 and i've 'clicked' with it better than the 2011 Cube Stereo I bought then sold and better than the 2011 Runblefish 2 29er I bought then sold ๐Ÿ˜€

Twelve50 cycles in Frodsham have a 2012 314 in the shop now, Ric or Matt will look after you, great shop to say the least

Lovely, much prefer the 2012 paintwork and graphics, that's my only very minor gripe about my 2010 514, pretty amazing bikes. Enjoy.

A reverb would look nice on that ๐Ÿ˜‰

Very nice looking bike, love the new colours for 2012. I've got a 2011 514, which I like...a lot!! Sounds like the 2012 geometry changes on the Zesty's haven't killed thier climbing efficiency(?) - I've been amazed with my 514; on a recent holiday my wife borrowed my 514 and I was riding my sub-25lb Anthem X. The Zesty repeatedly dropped the Anthem X on the off-road climbs - to try and even things up I fitted Minions F&R to the Zesty, and let 'em down to 18psi ๐Ÿ˜‰ , then put a Small Block 8 on the rear of the Anthem and ran my tyres at about 25 to 28psi (tubeless) - The Zesty still dropped it on climbs!! 'Cos I couldn't believe it, we even swapped bikes and sessioned some climbs, and the Zesty was definately easier to propel up stuff - and descending...well, I'm sure you know ๐Ÿ˜€

arggh..I'l stop enthusing! Enjoy your bike ๐Ÿ™‚
