The Zinn Gigabike 29er is a revelation in the world of full suspension mountain bikes for tall riders. Back in 2003, this Zinn bike was the world’s first 5-inch-travel 29er, and we have continued to improve it ever since. Now the Gigabike can be setup with either 5″ of travel or 6 inches of travel. When you go about designing the perfect big and tall bike for all-mountain riders, several things are important. First, the bike must fit well with the handlebars high enough for you to be comfortable. It also makes sense that a big bike should have big wheels. The 29 inch wheels of the Gigabike help to get the bars up higher, and when combined with our long beefy headtube, we can get the bars up enough to fit a 6’10″ guy comfortably on our XXXL size. The super beefy tapered headtube makes this one of the stiffest frames in the world, and you will find it to be very controllable in the most technical terrain.One of the most important aspects of bike fit is the crank length. It doesn’t make sense for a 6’10″ basketball player to be riding on the same length cranks as Lance Armstrong. The Gigabike is designed to accommodate up to 210mm cranks.

We press-form our massive down tube to provide the stiffness and strength to take the abuse a 275-pounder can dish out all over the mountain. Our giant cartridge bearings surrounding the bottom bracket shell keep the swingarm pivoting smoothly for a lifetime, aided by a Zerk grease fitting for easy maintenance. The Zinn Gigabike also features a foldable rear triangle, which allows this big mountain bike to fit into a bicycle case for traveling. Our new 142mm rear through axle system will provide even better rear end stiffness and tracking for big guys._Available in XXL-PLUS(24”) and XXXL(26”) sizes. |
