middleageman Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Would i be right in suggesting that ZONA are made by ONZA? Also, could it be a copy of the ZOO! Python, but with different geo? I think i may have read this information somehere. Or maybe i'm mad.Hope this helps, they look the dogs!

Jamie_Trials Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Its all up to you really, i have a zona zip and its OK, I have had it for around 4 months and i think it seems a bit too normal (nothing special), but does ride kind of well. I am now getting a Gu as zona is not for me. But if you have been doing trialsing just for a bit this bike is good as it is virtually indestructible.(a bit like a tank I suppose) hope this helpsJamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I learnt a lot on mine, you can give them a lot of hammer.Don't worry if the rear bash plate mounts cracks, they pretty much all do it. I just rode mine round cracked until I sold it, it doesn't really matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey1991 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I have already spoke to him he is very helpful..Ha ha i am?there good similer geo to higher range bikes and can take a beating, deffinatley a good upgrade from your t-vee.If its got reasonably good spec you can swap frames once your getting better with it.apart from that be careful with the bash mounts, mine didn't have them (removed) but they can dig into / crack the frame.Although even if you do crack the frame it will take alot to stop the bike being rideable, they are pretty tanklike.

cadbury's cream egg Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 im riding one at the moment, really quite nice but heavy needs decent components for it to be any good, and a nice bar and stem combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cresswell_d Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) quite nice but heavyWell its one way on how to make you stronger so, when you do your next big upgrade with a lighter frame you will find it easier to do stuff!!P.S This is my bike what I built today.P.P.S It is really nice to ride.

Dan6061 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Do it! I love my one!They stay on the backwheel really well, feel nice for front wheel moves too - up to fronts, etc.If a long mod is what you're after, do it.Here's a picture of my one for some inspiration. : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
___RD_ Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) I have heard they are really nice mate a bit heavy but nice to ride and easy on the back wheel. Edited December 17, 2008 by ___RD_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
only1monty Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Hi there,I was in the same sort of position as you, I had become reasonably good and decided that an upgrade was in order. My friend had a zona zip so the first thing i did was have a go on it, after about 5 minutes i was doing gaps i had never done before, it really took a beating, so i decided i would buy one. I've had mine for about 3 months now and the only downside is that it is slightly heavier than most mods, but for a beginner it's absolutely perfect. One piece of advice i would give though is to try lots of different bikes to find the one that suits your style best, but afterall if youve got your heart set on one, go and buy one!!!
