got 2 e bikes,
got a kit back 2012
converted it myself.
great fun.
Pedal engagement gets some getting used to from most who switch over.
what a beast!!
So Zerode went ahead and snatched Vitus riders? Just saw Alexis Righetti also rides for Zerode now.
Looks nice, definitely different. I've thought gearboxes are the way to go for the last few years. Needs a mainstream brand to grow a pair and start fitting them in big numbers. Maybe Big Drivetrain doesn't want us to be riding gearboxes because they hardly need maintenance! No chain to wear out or lube. No flimsy derailleur, no constantly replacing chainrings or cassettes. It's the future!
Love that bike 🤘
Oh hang on, WTB coming out with new compounds? Will be interesting to see what improvements they've made. The "High Grip" compound is already very, very good.
Nice rig Alex, does the battery charge from pedalling or does it have to be charged via USB and what happened if the battery dies mid ride? Hope you had fun in CA! 🤘❤️🌈🕊️🌍
Totally sick bike mate
Nice colour ways
Chris King 🤴 👏👏👏👍
Gearboxes are clearly the future of MTB outside of XC racing. Pinion made some pretty nice improvements with the smart shift setup, but I get early Di2 vibes from their setup haha. Their MGU offering is brilliant, I think that's the equipment that will make the bike industry take gearboxes seriously. Super clean setup, the green DVO stuff goes great with the polished bars and white frame.
I don’t often comment on new bikes, but in your case I will make an exception – that is SUPER nice and the internal gearbox is absolutely intriguing… (does Tommy C ride Zerode with you?) and I look forward to hearing how you get on longer term. Thank you for sharing.
So sad, no more Vitus Sommet bike?
Not my cup of tea, but I am stoked that you are sorted for a very challenging year in the bike industry.
Can you please learn how to say the name correctly?
It's not that hard.
Awesome bike! Outrageous prices… 7k for a frame… 10k for the cheapest build…
Love Zerodes. Need an E box version!
gear boxes are so insane I can see shimano and sram destroying them
that track is weird – not many corners! Just flat out! Cool looking bike though.
The correct pronunciation is car-tea-paw = Ka-ti-po kind regards
