What are they like for pedalling and climbing?
I bought a zesty back in July, my first FS....and I have to say I love it...
It climbs really well, I have nearly always ridden a XC HT and I was looking for my first FS for the bigger stuff...I do (and enjoy) climbing and I have to say the zesty does it really well.
It feels just right for me, the position, the handling etc, although I cant compare it to another FS as this was the first one!
Pedalling is what they are best at. Very efficient suspension system. Quite good climbers too.
714 here since Jan
Brilliant up and down. Very, very efficient. Great rear shock setup and I love the ride. I do mostly Afan and Cmwcarn trail centers.
514 since May, love it love it love it, climbs like a wippet, I run easton flatboys on mine, nice big platform flats make for great pedalling and stable rolling down fast ST. I test rode a 514 at demo day and ordered one the next day. Just be aware I was very lucky to get one the 514s upwards sell out pretty quick.
