Help me decide Zenditt vs Velduro

[Adyzakydany]

Hey I’m struggling to decide between the two. I mostly ride bike parks, DH and Mix trails and enjoy jumping and drops etc (master of nothing lol, pure intermediate level)

Both bikes will be in small as I’m 165CM. I’m slightly concerned the high pivot design will make the Velduro less nimble on jumps.

The downside of the Zenditt is the short seat insertion so can’t slam it out the way.

Velduro. If you are buying a long travel enduro. Adding high pivot adds to the bikes ability to absorb chunk as the axle will pivot up and away from the bump, rather than up and towards the bump. Sure the lengthening of the wheelbase will make it more stable and less nimble. But more stable is safer.

You could just adjust the geometry and suspension on the Velduro when doing jumps, if you wanted more pop.

That said. Either bike will outbike you. So I doubt you'd notice much difference.

Just wanted to ensure the CS extending at compression wont work against me when wanting the bike to be playful when i want it to be, curious, what made you suggest the Velduro over the Zendit?

If you want frame only the velduro is the only choice.
Having owned a kenevo sl i wouldn't buy another frame design with limited seatpost insertion.
If that isn't a concern though i expect either would be excellent bikes.

Yeah seat insertion is an issue for me, I’m short so if I can’t get the seat out the way all the way I don’t feel mega comfortable moving around the bike
