Zerode Katipo Review Pt.4

Check out Will's fourth part of the Zerode Katipo with Pinion + Gates Belt Drive Review. This video delves into some issues with the bike and even a snapped frame from a crash.

There are less than 3 days left to win this weapon that Will absolutely loved and I can see why: though I've never ridden the Zerode I'm a big fan of the nearly zero maintenance Pinion (I'm offering a Smartshift upgrade option to the winner) and Gates Carbon Drive system which also gives the bike great weight distribution and light suspension action. The geometry looks solid on paper and I can vouch for the details and finish quality from seeing these around and getting feedback from followers.

Buying a comp ticket for only £12 supports these free and independent reviews and gives you the chance to win an awesome machine.

I bought this bike for Will to test while he was on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to New Zealand. Will has been racing downhill since the early 2000s and is currently one of the fastest UK enduro racers in the Master's category.

Check out the other parts of the review then try to win this bike and some other amazing products at astonmtb.com

These reviews and all of my work is 100% crowdfunded by the MTB public via my competitions. The only products I offer to win have passed the AstonMTB test and I really believe are the best options on the market. Check out my current competitions here: https://astonmtb.com/

About me: lifelong MTB rider and racer. Bad World Cup downhiller and a slightly better EWS racer. Qualified MTB coach and guide. 5 years as the European Technical Editor for Pinkbike, followed by some years of testing and prototyping for brands within the industry.

Now I've thrown everything into this project to create the best independent bike reviews in the world. 

These products are bought at full retail price, and the reviews are funded 100% by competition ticket sales and donations. Buying a ticket not only gives you a chance to win cool bike stuff but also to support more and more independent reviews. This is a community effort, you can support these reviews, or get your information elsewhere which is always funded directly by the brands or through their advertising budgets...

Thanks to everyone for the support so far!
