By Furious J-rad, ski demigod from Telluride, CO on 11/03/2009 Pros: Great Construction, Installs Easily, Lightweight, Perfect for powder Cons: No edge hold on firm snow Describe Yourself: Competitive Athlete Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have skiied these for two seasons and love them. They are soft, and the rocker lets you stay centered in powder. You won't need to try to keep your tips up like you do with other skis. They are excellent for plowing through crud. You have to stay out of the moguls or they might break because they are so soft (which is a good trade if it is a powder day). If it is ice or hardpacked conditions, leave these skis at home. I feel these are perfect for anyone looking for a lightweight super-fatty for backcountry. Once, I did a six-hour skin/hike and still had enough strength to make delicious tele turns all the way down. My reccomendation is to use the lightweight cable style bindings to keep the weight down. One downfall is that the skins you can buy for these skis are heavy, because of the width.
By big dog tk from winter park Co. on 10/03/2009 Cons: Flimsy Construction, Handles Poorly, Poor Components, WHEELS SUCK Best Uses: FOR SITTING IN THE GARAGE Describe Yourself: Competitive Cyclist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I am a pro D.H. rider for Trestle bike park in winter park Colorado. My first thought was i'll try it. once i got up to my racing speed you find that it sucks. the tubes (no matter what kind you buy) are always poping(even with the best spock sealers).The shifter brock just from average shifting. the break cables are hard to pull even after many tune ups. the frame is as flimsy as tinfoil. The fork is one of the worst on the market, offering almost no adjustment at all and it is always tight.
By Jest from Hell, Arizona on 09/09/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Durable, Handles Well Best Uses: Commuting, Mountain Biking Describe Yourself: Casual Cyclist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great bike, have dropped it, kicked it, crashed it, still alive :). Put street tires on it and it is great for around town. Quick tire change and I can hit the trail.
k2 Zed 3.0 - Good bike for the money By evolutionyz from Philadelphia, PA on 09/12/2007 Pros: Decent components, Disk brakes, Durable, Good Value, Rock Shox J1 Best Uses: Basic Transportation, Hard City Riding, Light XC, Smaller Dirt Jumping Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: When I got the bike and opened up the box I noticed the frame had a big scratch on it, which disappointed me. After getting it together (about 30 minutes), it needed solme small tweaking. The brakes are decent, I see myself upgrading them, but it's nice to have something decent as a platform. All of the other components are very nice. I switched to street tires, very agile and comfortable city bike. Can handle hits pretty good too. Overall I am pretty happy with it!
