Cervélo is back mountain bike racing on all-new ZFS-5 short-travel full-suspension cross-country bike just in time for World Cup XCO racing’s 2023 return…
Following up their hardtail mountain bike debut last fall, Cervélo is back with an all-new full-suspension ZFS-5 short-travel XC bike just in time for this weekend’s cross-country World Cup racing kick-off. So far, we’ve just got a sneak peek of the bike that will see its racing debut under two Dutch riders of Jumbo-Visma, Fem van Empel and Milan Vader in Nové Město na Moravě – and we’ll take a deeper dive this coming weekend.all photos c.
Described as a “Progressive But Racy” bike, the ZFS is a classic full-carbon single-pivot mountain bike with flexing seatstays and a horizontal linkage-driven shock under the top tube. Cervélo says they chose to “keep it single, stupid” with a simple suspension design that is “tried and true, and very tuneable”.
One trickier bit in the suspension, Cervélo describes the post mount rear brake as ‘floating’ as it attaches to the chainstay and then the axle, to isolate it from the suspension flex around the drop-out and lower-end of the seatstay.
