ZHI-DT Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I was thinking about upgrading from my zhi bike to perhaps either an echo or zoo (2007 upwards) and the monty kamel, which do you think is better? and please state any problems that you may have had with these bikes. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Prodigy Trials. Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Monty kamel all the way , I love the geo of the frame and the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan-Trials Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 It all depends on what you ride, street tgs, natrual or comps. Monty Kamels are competition bikes and can be cracked if rode street hardly. If your a smooth rider you could probably get away without cracking it for a while, but if your a Tgs basher it will last 5 minutes.Echo, Zoo, Czar, Adamant and Gu are all made by the same company 'Deng' and mostly all these frames can take a good bashing and afew dents before they crack. If your a new rider and not very smooth i suggest you get a Deng frame as it will last alot longer than the Monty. Also it all down to what geo you personally like so just try a few frames out and see which one you like best. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackC123 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I think the new kamel is a waste of like 400quid. All that extra money for a few mm larger frame and an upper shite paint job. My opinion, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion, sorry.Nothing really constructive in that post There like £600 aswell , Geo is all down to personal opinion, so just try some frames and see what you like best.

beano Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I would say the Monty Kamel. They are nice and light, as are the Echo and Zoo, but it's down to personal preferences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey1991 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I would say the Monty Kamel. They are nice and light, as are the Echo and Zoo, but it's down to personal preferences.Yes because zoo's are really light The Monty kamel is probably "the best" there, its got a good spec and lightweight but as said its a competition frame so wont like being bashed around by a TGS rider.A zoo is almost the complete opposite, There not heavy as such but you can get alot lighter, they will take alot more of a beating but wont be so good for comps.Echo are closer to the Zoo than the Monty but there not quite so heavy.

Skoze Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) Monty's are hugely overpriced imo, you pay for the name not the quality - it will crack/ snap.Echo's/Zoo's are both aimed at 'TGS' street riding, and the Monty is aimed at natural, you cant really compare them.

Mission Prodigy Trials. Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I would say Echo's are the best all round if I had to choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
