The ZEB was built for the most extreme terrain – steep, double-black-rated trails with freeride elements. And if you like, you can also pedal back up with it.
The all-new LinearXL air spring delivers a coil-spring-like feel—sensitive at the beginning, with plenty of support in the mid-stroke, and adjustable bottom-out resistance (ABO) for reliable control towards the end of the travel. Exclusive to our Ultimate forks, ButterWagonTech ensures a constant supply of lubricating oil to the bushings, reducing friction and guaranteeing silky-smooth performance until the next service interval. The intuitive HSC/LSC adjustment knobs on the Charger 3.2 damper with ButterCups technology allow for quick, easy-to-understand, and communicative setup. The ZEB provides the composure riders need to confidently not only choose their line but also hold it—no matter how extreme the trail.
