It’s been a great winter of riding the track at Boulder Indoor Cycling. The new Zinn magnesium track bike has really proven itself out there. They are so light, yet stiff, and super smooth. The magnesium frame corners on a rail and stays in control at very high speeds. Magnesium damps vibration better than any other frame material, which gives the rider much more confidence when riding really fast. Other frames send vibrations through to your body which means, you won’t feel as comfortable at high speeds.
We weighed both of these bikes. The white one weighs in at 14.9 lbs and the yellow one weighs 15.8lbs. They were built for a 6’5″ and a 6’6″ rider respectively. With Lennard’s unique compact frame designs and the vast benefits of using Magnesium make these track bikes the best performing track bikes a tall rider could ever hope to ride. A magnesium track bike for an average sized person would also destroy the performance of a similar carbon fiber bike. There is really no comparison once you get on the bike. Come to Boulder Indoor Cycling if you want to test ride the yellow bike in this picture.
