Well. im new to the forum, ive been looking on the forum for quite some time now and ive seen people are very curious and show alot of interest in the onza zoot, well ive had one for a few months and thought i mayaswell write a review to answer everyones questions. Ill start from the begginning, first i bought it from tartybikes and they were great, very fast getting it to me and no messing around (i bought the full build) well i ripped it out the box built it up and first impressions were i didnt like it it just felt really weird with the super low and short stem with me coming from a stock with a resonably high bar and stem setup. Good point about the frame it doesnt really flex much, and feels very stiff, erm the length of it is strange it doesnt feel short or long, its perfect, after a few hours it grew on me big time, really started to like it the things i found easier were sidehops inparticular could just put more power into them then on a stock,, front taps felts less restrictive probably because i could throw the bike around more its weird because you have to hit your front wheel in a different position to stock but when you get the hang of it you shoot up, just all the moves in general progressed alot faster then when i was on my stock. After the first few weeks i decided to buy a hope mono trial disk for the front (decided on 160 rotor with the wheels only being 24") some koxx bloxx for the rear and a echo hifi stem (the highest rise version) as soon as the stem was fitted the bike instantly felt lush, everything is so much easier especially front hooks. and rolling gaps, usually it takes a while to adjust to a big change like stem but i could do all my moves bigger and it felt much more comfortable like a totally different bike, the only thing on this bike i felt harder was gapping to front wheel, the bike doesnt really feel like it wants to go over the front but with some practise its pretty easy, next thing on my list to upgrade are the bars and cranks. The spec is really amazing though for the price, it really is a great bike and the 24" trialsy style frame was a great idea, the only things i had trouble with was, i threaded one of the brake mounts in my first night (my own fault ) and the onza threaded steerer tube is a good idea but the topcap should be a little better . the frame itself is strong, ive put it through alot of stress and some big moves and its fine, no dents or anything really happy with the frame, ill get some pics so you can see how it looks later and if anyone has any questions about it just ask. also i should have a video out soon so you can see it being ridden Oh and another thing. thought id add, when you gap the backend really flicks out, you can see it in this link Here. download the "Zoot Crash."
