I got the 100mm travel with the Sram XX SL Eagle when it was on sale. It weighs 22.73 pounds with pedals (Time pedals). I also replaced the race face cockpit. Haven't cut the steer tube yet or cables etc so maybe a little room to get lighter. No dropper seat post either. I had top end canyon lux before this. The cervelo rides great. Rear shock is plush but responsive. About a month of riding in and it's been enjoyable. I wouldn't have bought it without that sale to be honest. Glad I did now.

I bought the Eagle Gx 120mm version. I was about to do some upgrades to my Specialized Rockhopper but then I saw this bike with a nice price tag… so I just upgraded to it. 😅 It ride well. She likes to climb and for my surprised she’s good in downhill too. I think for $3,400 it’s a steal. Just ride and enjoy. Take care guys!

Been waiting for this. Planning to build one but in Khaki moss which i think is a better color. Good thing our lbs have one in stock

Keep the videos coming; their great! Super honest views

love these videos :)

These days it's hard to weight weenie bikes. Hardtails that are high 9kgs are now considered "feathery light. 5 years ago, a sub 8kg 29,er build was still very doable, with decent off road capability.

They needed a Cervelo branded MTB for their road bike team members that compete in XC.

What size is the Ridgid reaming tool that you use? I see that they make one that goes to 11/2 and one that goes to 2 inches?

Would I be able to fit a 38T chainring on one of these?

What is the best xc bike you have ridden.?

Root juice, well me as a PC tech see it a bit different 🤣

First. Epic 🎉

Yes we need a ride review on the 120mm version.

I thought y’all were in cali for real!

The reason it is so heavy because the frame is much heavier than they advertise. I weighed mine and it was 2030g with axle, shock and hardware no collar. They state complete frame and shock is 1715g. Do need to account for the brake mount and UDH hanger as well if you are not going the transmission route so about 2080 all said and done with no collar. An old Epic Evo size L is 1860 with all frame items including collar…….

Such a disappointment they screwed up with their hardtail dated geometry, on the other size the ZFS-5 is an underrated XC bike! A bit of an improved geometry compared to the Blur TR, really nice bike! Best deal around right now!

Lighter frame than the S-Works Epic and much much cheaper

I almost bought a frameset and did a build, but decided to hold out for the Epic 8 instead. This bike looks kinda boring, and doesnt excite me very much, but it has very good reviews, and seems to be an awesome bike, at a pretty awesome price. But it doesnt say s-works :(

"Zed" FS-5.

I wish you’d just build the freakin bike…
