Review
I was really suprised about the quality of this frame because i heard bad things about the earlier models, but they have really come through with the goods this time round.
I first noticed the frame was really stiff in the rear end compared to my raceline and it is real light when built with zoo forks. Good geometry for natural and street, it's not too long or too short.
I really liked the idea of having 2 models, I bought the one with a real seat tube so little kids wouldnt ask me those silly questions!

I would recommend this bike to all-round trials riders with a small wallet.

Review
I like this frame alot but the headtube came out after a year which isnt bad because i did it off a phone box with not such a good landing. i would advise this frame to a rider who wants a good frame that wont break easy for quite cheap.

Review
personally i think this is a great frame. 1050 wheel base is not too long to limit ur riding style, yet not too short.

the rear end of the frame is actually kind of flexy. at least flexier than the piranha. i think zoo designed it that way. so it takes a little to get used to. but makes harsh landings softer, and might help u side hop, rear wheel higher.

its really worth the money
