Zaskar trials frame

One of my pals had a zaskar and another snagged an original RTS with the chromoly rear triangle and I somehow missed the opportunity to ride one all these years.

Popular Now. That, paired with my favorite lightweight components, put it on my list of favorite bikes. I dare to equate it to the day Jimi Hendrix first played a Stratocaster.

It was a perfect fit for me, though. Many of us know how easy it is to claim we need a new bike, but the feeling was strong after my initial ride.

He mentioned that he still had his previous frame, which was identical to the new one and still in great shape, but no word on if he could sell it to me. Twenty-four hours went by, and like some sort of pseudo Santa Claus, Bill called and said I could use his older Zaskar frame if I wanted to build it up. He claimed that the frames we had were the only two in America that GT gave anyone. He went on to mention that certain markets that were able to have a race team were able to leverage the bike better in their regions.

We talked about hardtail cross-country bikes being a dying breed in the World Cup races, creating a limited market for them. GT has always used a unique triple-triangle design, whether it was on its road bikes, gravel bikes or mountain bikes. Patrick Kaye explained that the triple-triangle design was meant to disperse the shock of the trail away from the seat tube.

That design gave more vertical compliance and minimized the harshness the rider would feel. So, the current triple triangle is not connected to the seat tube.

It acts almost like a leaf spring and helps spread the trail chatter throughout the frame. The new Zaskar LT is meant to be a bike that can do a variety of things more comfortably than the previous XC model. Not bad for a hardtail. Wyn is a phenomenal rider, so there is that, too. According to GT, back in about , certain distributors in Europe were asking GT for extreme hardtails similar to those that had been hitting hard in their markets.

They were urging GT to pull the trigger on this new trend, and as GT saw that market grow, it was a no-brainer for them. It was also a great opportunity to keep the Zaskar relevant, as well as bring it back to America. I have to admit that it was bittersweet for me, as no sooner had I fallen in love with the XC race bike, GT went and changed the model.

That sadness lasted until I saw the promo for the new LT, which actually had me excited about extreme hardtails. Additionally, it brings back a simplicity and minimal maintenance factor that I feel will get many people excited. In fact, one reason this hardtail niche emerged was because of the wet conditions and horrible mud in the UK.
