Video: Bird Reveals a New Hardcore Zero 29er Hardtail
PRESS RELEASE: Bird
Bird launches the new Zero 29 - the full-bore hardtail following in the footsteps of our popular Zero AM range.
The new Zero 29 follows the same template as the Zero AM with customised builds, tidy CNC detailing and progressive geometry, but is turning it up to 11 for the 29er format. Its not our first go at a 29 hardtail, we've been prototyping testing for over 4 years, but its the first we wanted to launch, as the ingredients needed to make it just so coming together for us at last.
For hardtails, more so than a full suss bike the inadequacies in components can be easily exposed. If you don't have the right mix then you might quickly find that the ride is compromised. We've waited to launch this one until we had everything just the way we wanted it.
A fully winter proof ride with our signature long, low and slack geometry the Zero 29 is exactly the bike you need to keep the wheels rolling through the winter - every mile can be blasted at max speed. Large diameter wheels roll fast enough for the fire roads, it's light and agile to dispatch any single track with ease and strong enough for the DH tracks; the Zero 29 can tackle them all.

In all seriousness though, these bikes look like a ton of great value for the money.
