So I know Raoul de Jongh and Roan Excelby rides/rode the Zula. How many other well known or less known good riders are making use of the Zula?

 

I need to upgrade from my Anthem Team dual to something else. I had my heart set on a Zula, but all this talk about 29ers are confusing the crap out of me. Did a test ride on the Cannondale Flash 29er the other day. The ride was pretty good all round, but it is still not a dual on the DH's. I also don't like the parts setup on the standard bike. I still have more faith in Shimano.

 

Will the Zula be faster than a good spec 2007 Anthem or will I be about on the same level as I am currently?

 

PS: I do the odd XC race, mostly provincial and did some Nats last year. Prefer enduro's and stage racing.

I'm riding a Zula, and with all this 29er hipe I was also looking at the 29er flash but after this weeks attakwas I decided that I will much rather keep the Zula, its an excellent ride!

I had a similar experience in a local race on Sunday, where I appreciated my dual. I have done 2 Attakwas races before and most people back then were on duals and many of them on Anthems. That was 2 years ago though.

 

It seems that the bikes would have a very similar weight if the spec is similar. Everyone raves about the ride on the Zula. I weigh around 73kg and climbing is one of my stronger points, just don't want to sacrifice that. The Zula is labeled as a XC/marathon bike. I'm just worried it might end up feeling more like an "all mountain" bike.
