Zerode G2 Build Kits From Zerodeusa

Zerodeusa is offering two build options for the G2. The first is the Pro build with all the light weight goodies a racer could want. They are also offering a cheaper build option call the Zee build. As you can guess it is outfitted with Zee, Dorado Expert and Sun Ringle Add Pro wheels. Check out more below....the G2 has had some major updates that the racers asked for.

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.

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!

2013 Zerode G2 Announced

Zerode has been listening to both its riders and the community as a whole. People wanted more choices in size, slacker, lighter, shorter headtubes. They took this all in and added a few other changes to create the Zerode G2. Check out below what was happened the the Gearbox bike from New Zealand.

Not content with re packaging the status quo. Zerode have gone back to the basics of suspension design. The revolutionary use and placement of a gearbox allowing Zerode to revisit concepts such as optimised wheel path, sprung to un-sprung ratios and mass centralisation…. concepts long ago discarded by the competition because of the limitations of the drive train we all know and hate.

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.
