Zerode G2 Updates With Images

“Zerode has done some major updates to its first generation gearbox bike. The changes are listed below. Many of these changes came from rider input and customer feedback.”

With two seasons under our belt and a new manufacturer on board we have been able to make a

bunch of refinements to the Zerode DH frame for 2013. Designated the Zerode G2, here are some of

the changes from the old G1:

1) The geometry has had an overhaul for the G2. 3 sizes, shorter head tubes, longer top tubes and

slacker head angles mean a race ready chassis for all body shapes and sizes.

2) With lessons learned from the G1 we have shaved over 300grams off the frame. Some of this

is unsprung weight in the chainstay, axle and rocker further improving the Zerode suspension

performance.

3) The down tube yolk has been redesigned to increase the ground clearance by 20mm, increase

chain ring clearance for a better primary chain line and incorporates a sturdy shock guard mount so

your shock and frame are protected from stray rocks.

4) Each Zerode will come with 2 shifters. The standard Alfine unit and a modified SRAM unit. You

choose which one you feel most at home with.

5) A new rectangular down tube is stiffer, lighter and stronger than the old round tube.

6) The chainstay has been redesigned to increase tyre, crank and chain tensioner clearance.

7) Reduced travel from 9.25” to 8.3”. With less unsprung weight and an efficient axle path we felt a

little less travel would give a more lively feel, reduce weight and make a great pedalling chassis even

better without sacrificing it’s superb bump eating ability.

8) New colours….The G2 is Bead blasted and anodised in Black or Charcoal with four decal options.

Custom Anodising is available.

Already proven and tested on the NZ DH circuit, the G2 can be yours soon!
