Saracen (UK) – “Fast, light, accurate and built to dissect trails. The all-new Zenith blurs the boundary between XC race machine and aggressive trail bike”, stated Saracen about the new Zenith.

“The 24/30T Mitsubishi UD carbon frame is a work of art but its beauty is not just skin deep. It features a 12 x 148mm Boost dropout system, IS42-IS52 tapered headtube and all cables are internally routed to keep it looking clean with routing for stealth dropper posts as standard. Its Shimano Di2 ready too with a neat battery port hidden in the downtube“, added the company
