MoreTrails Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Sawdust - some truth in what they are saying but for all the wrong reasons. 100mm travel is ideal (obviously), but the frame will outgun the SID everytime. SID is too XC for the this XC bike, as it is a little light and would flex to much (in my opinion). The Zula really can handle a whole heap of whipp-ass out on the trail, it is one tough bike. So a Fox or a Reba I would say is better suited. Maybe think about changing your LBS?
Sawdust Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Maybe think about changing your LBS? It is the first Morewood they have sold, so I'll be patient.
Sawdust Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 So finally I got my new toy home, after a loooong wait. Will take it for a good ride tomorrow in the forest. Weighing in at 12.04kg with UST tyres, size Large.
Skylark Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 The racing line on those Zula's is just incredibleThe ratio of tube size to angles to paint job is , is ... is just incredible!!!!Plus the single pivot goodness Mmm mmmm

Sawdust Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Nice looking bike there!Thanks, it also rides as good as it looks. Did 2 rides over the weekend. One in the forest with lots of climbing and downhills and the second ride with mostly single track. The single track is where the bike really impressed me. Just glides over obstacles, even with the rear shock set to pro-pedal (stiff) I have much more confidence than I had with my Anthem especially in the fast corners. Really happy with the bike so far. to my LBS for building the bike up so well. Everything is butter smooth!
Cejay Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Hi sawdust,have to agree with you the Zula is an incredible bike almost like it is on rails in the single track
MoreTrails Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Well done on your bike. The Zula feels remarkably similar to the Shova on the downhills - and rough single track is where the bike excels!Happy biking

Is the shock that way because its a large frame? Mine is the other way around but medium frame. Does this make any difference?
Vinnydabutcher Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I dont think so - might just be to have extra clearance for the bottle. Not sure though. Loving the wheels - very fast rolling! X.O all round makes shifting super smooth an precice and the Nior crank is also a nice addition. It goes really well - well worth the wait!

patches Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 ok, so I recently added another morewood to the bike shed, in the form of this: Now I know it's not as bling or super slick as the other 'woods out there... but it's pretty darn rare. Don't think there is another one of these within a 300km radius of me... never mind the fact that one has never been posted on the hub before.
MoreTrails Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Morewood Ndiza right!? My boet really wants one of those... and rare they are.
