Hi all,
I am back from my 2nd 3hour ride with the Z1. Today i took my first flight. Ok ok its a crappy flight if you compare it with today's freeride standards but its a good first flight given a hardtail. 1ft height 10ft long. I didnt understand the landing...i didnt feel it at all....so maybe its the Z1 or maybe i did a good landing...but to be honest the Z1 absorbs anything. After 10hrs of riding it never bottomed out...shag of 25 to 40mm depending on the terrain and riding position ...medium springs, 220lbs of rider plus equipment....not bad for medium springs.... Also i took my first staircase today...i went down on it without feeling the stairs (honestly). 20cm each stair height and 40cm lenght....30stairs approx. WHAT A JOY!!!!
