The Zinn Megabike is the quintessential cross-country full suspension mountain bike for tall riders. Specifically designed for Zinn extra long custom cranks proportional to extra-long legs, its low weight, stiffness and Fox RP23 pedal-platform shock along with extra crank leverage make this Zinn bike a climbing machine. Three inches of plush rear travel combined with the unparalleled lateral stiffness of our huge Concentrak main pivot centered about the bottom bracket make for precise tracking on the most serpentine singletrack. New for 2012, we are featuring a 142mm rear through axle and a tapered head tube for added stiffness and tracking control. The Megabike handles technical terrain almost like an all mountain bike due to it’s stiff frame, smooth suspension, and wide stable platform made possible by the long cranks. When you start climbing, you know you are on a cross country racing bike. The 29-inch wheels are much more proportional for tall riders and roll smooth and fast over rough terrain. The taller wheels combined with our long head tubes allow us to get the handlebars high enough for anyone. Proper crank length is a major part of good bike fit and an enormous factor in overall efficiency in your riding. The Megabike is designed to accommodate up to 205mm cranks, which make it truly designed for big and tall riders. Most other XXL 29ers are simply scaled up versions of a normal sized frame. Our big and tall bikes are fully designed for tall cyclists who want a bike that fits well, performs, and lasts a lifetime. Once you ride a Megabike with custom cranks, you’ll find yourself climbing faster and feeling more stable and in control on descents. The 29″ wheels and big guy geometry mean you won’t be going over the handlebars on the technical sections that used to own you. Now it’s time for you to own the trail. The Megabike is also a great travel bike for a tall rider since the rear triangle is specially designed to fold, making it fit into a smaller bike case. Without that feature, the Megabike is too big to fit into any stock bike case, making an expensive custom case necessary. |
