Good bike maybe.... but it shouldn't be called a Zaskar!

Lovely. Shame about the positoning of the bottle cage. Granted there's not many places it'll fit, but it looks weird.

Obviously aesthetics and the Zaskar's tried and trusted hardtail geometry weren't taken into consideration when designing this ugly little duckling..

Zziplex

The more conformists and traditionalists (like nicklouse & TNM) the Zaskar Full Sus incarnation p1$$e$ off, the more it lives up to it's original reputation and that is a good thing.

Much like John Lydon having his filthy lucre payday, all the 'traditional' and 'conformal' punks hated it, but in reality it couldn't have been more punk.

Haters hate, they don't need an excuse, but they'll try and find one.

I started a thread on this a couple of months back - is the new name for the Marathon. With it aping the aesthetics of the 90s zaskars with the silver and blue/yellow graphics, there is no doubt GT are using the name to their advantage. Even see them using it on budget/mid range hardtails now when they have a massive selection of old names they could use.

they should have just written zaskar on the side of an avalanche, no one owuld have known the difference.

Apart form the Zaskar frames are a pound lighter and the butted tubes are more comfortable lol.

Looks like a 2006 I-Drive 5 'modernised'
