Onza Zoot Pro Frame?

[Gaz96]

I only do street and was thinking of maybe getting the ONZA Zoot pro frame for Christmas and build it up, but i have a few questions. I am still a beginner maybe a we bit further so I don't want a top of the range bike would this be ok? plus what does it feel like doing rear wheel hops and pedal kicks on a 24inch bike I have only ridden a mod(onza rip)? Are they a lot easier for doing tricks like 180's and more bmx moves? thanks for any help.

I rode someone's standard Zoot and it was pretty nice for trialsy moves but also felt good for BMX stuff too. The Zoot Pro should be a pretty cool frame to build up a nice bike on - the only thing with 24 is that the stem length/angle seems to have more of an impact on how it rides than you'd expect.

you will feel the difference at the start but like all things it takes getting used to, the geometry isn't really ideal for hopping on the back wheel for long and also because i think the rip has a smaller back wheel it isn't as easy to get the front wheel up but you can experiment with different stem rises and stack heights for more leverage up front. I'd try a similar bike out before you buy but you won't regret going to 24 inch. The full bike zoot has got pretty good components on it for the price you may want to get it and upgrade from there, like new brakes and your own personal bar, stem set up, it may turn out cheaper if you buy the full bike first.
