2013 Zesty 314

After spending a few years over on the road, I finally decided to buy myself a toy to get out and about on purely for the fun of it, rather than racing or racking in the miles etc...

But if you do more xc than all mountain try the 12mm setting.

You're finding the Zesty a real improvement then? I had a brief test ride last week on Zesty 314 v Trek Fuel EX8 v Norco Sight 2SE, and (to my inexperienced self) the Zesty and Norco did feel livelier then the Trek, with plusher suspension too (and the Zesty was definitely the prettiest). How do you find the Formula brakes? On the bike I rode they felt p**s poor, very weak compare to the Shimanos on the other two bikes. Admittedly they were brand new, and not bedded i, but so were the other bikes.
looks like your bikes is for sale. Ive reported it.
It showed the bike of pretty good so used it, notice the bit at the seat collar, my bikes got a hole there..that one doesn't
