When I heard the news that Cervélo, a world-leading road bike brand, A new model of mountain bike is about to be released. I’m quite excited, I want to know, I want to see, I want to touch, and I want to try riding. This kind of news if it were another brand of bicycle. I probably feel lonely. But this is Cervélo’s first mountain bike. Who wouldn’t be excited? Carbon frame, 29-inch wheels, and thru-axles use the latest technology. And released into the market at the same time, 2 models, 2 systems, the ZFS-5 model is a full suspension mountain bike with 2 shock absorbers, namely the front shock absorber and shock absorber on the frame, and the ZHT-5 model is a hardtail system with only a front shock absorber.
Seriously…who would have thought that Cervélo is the king of road bikes and triathlon bikes? Grand Tour champion wins 3 races from the 2023 major tournament, will launch a mountain bike to shake the world. To please lovers of adventure and jungle, therefore it must have something out of the ordinary.
As we all know, Cervélo has many types of bicycles, such as road bikes (subdivided into 3 families: S, R and C (Caledonia)), and also the P family of triathlon bicycles, all of which belong to the bicycle family. smooth trails, followed by the Áspero model, which is a Gravel Bike that can be used on roads and off-road as well. But many people think that Áspero is a Gravel bicycle. But it still has influence and DNA from the Crouching Tiger. Which on the outside looks like a Crouching Tiger, but the truth is that it is not.
But for ZFS-5 and ZHT-5, this is a different matter because these two models are purebred mountain bikes. Newly designed to be a fighter. It is a full-fledged XC Cross Country style competition line for pro racers like Milan Vader (Jumbo-Visma team) to use in competitions. Cross-country Olympic (XCO), which is a world-class event with high-level competitors from famous teams. Went to compete a lot. The competition is supported and rated by the International Cycling Federation or UCI.
In fact, many people probably don’t know that Cervélo has also made mountain bikes before. Going back in time to 1998, Cervélo’s R&D Manager at that time, Dave Anthony, made a prototype mountain bike (Prototype). The frame was made of aluminum. And of course it has to be aerodynamic in the style of Cervélo, hoping to use it to compete in the Xterra (off-road style triathlon competition). But with Dave being a mountain bike enthusiast and rider, I was alone at that time. In addition, the demand for road bicycles is greater. As a result, Dave’s mountain bike project had to be folded up and put in his bag.
Quickly warp through time to the present. This time, the Cervélo mountain bike has been reborn in earnest under Pon Bicycle Holding BV, which also owns the 30-year-old legendary mountain bike brand, Santa Cruz. So it’s no surprise that this time the Cervélo ZFS- 5 and ZHT-5 are therefore being watched by all bicycle media and wild cyclists around the world to see what strengths these 2 models have. and influenced Including how much knowledge has been transferred from Santa Cruz, because both the ZFS-5 from Cervélo and the Blur from Santa Cruz are both XC Cross Country style mountain bikes.
But if we compare the specs of these 2 models and 2 brands, between ZFS-5 and Blur, superficially they are similar. But in reality, there is a difference by degrees (Geometry) that Cervélo is more agile, agile, and quick because of the design that focuses on speed in competition. Many foreign media outlets say that it is surprising that even though the ZFS-5 is a car focused on speed on XC roads, it is still incredibly smooth and well controlled. Just like the Santa Cruz, it is known for being easy to control. Even though it is an Extreme style, fighting and aggressive, Cervélo is probably developed and built on from Santa Cruz.
Cougar has been racing since birth.
The ZFS-5 frame is made from high-grade carbon fiber, lightweight and strong. There are 2 travel distances to choose from: 100mm. for fun and agile XC style and 120mm. to add fun to the forest, up the mountain, and down the mountain. The frame supports both cable and electric gear sets, using wheel axles. Cervélo Thru-axle size 12x148mm. Uses Single Pivot technology to absorb vibrations. This allows for easy control on all surfaces. and every situation Hide all wires inside the frame. With wiring into the newly designed neck cup area. No hassle when adjusting or changing stems.
If anyone is interested, try contacting leading bicycle shops across the country. I heard there weren’t many. For anyone who is a true mountain bike fan and a Cervélo fan, I can tell you that you shouldn’t miss this, because good or bad, this might become one of Cervélo’s legends.
