Maintenance services are divided into paid and free ones. We also honor an official Shimano Service Center. We completely understand that bicycles are made not for watching but for riding and you will be pushing yours to the limits… but the warranty does not cover accidents. For such cases we have prepared a Crash Replacement Program. It allows you to obtain a new frame without forks or shock or its parts in an inexpensive way.

We reserve the right to suspend this service in individual cases, if we determine that the damage was done on purpose. We all are bike-riders and we know too good that some frame parts wear out in a natural way. Due to that sad fact and in order to meet the requirements of all our customers, we are keeping most of the spare parts available to buy in our web store for a longest time possible. And its quality is also WalMart like. Well, Tim.

But Zumbi bikes are of such low quality two F models broken in a ROAD race — yes, they are meant to be offroad bikes, but all the same… that it will certainly make me think twice or even thrice before buying another one by Zumbi.

Did they honor their warranty? Yes, they did. And yes, I have to be honest, they fixed the frames quite well… Both bikes have been working fine since then. Support us! Sign up. BY Alasdair MacLennan. But originating in the Polish town of Myslenice they are on the doorstep of some incredible riding and are brainchild of passionate owner, Pawel Matuszynski.

Despite being a small company they have previously fielded a World Cup team, and continue to have a strong presence around the world. Tested here is their F, an enduro race-ready frameset custom tuned to our tastes. And when we say custom we do mean custom, for the geometry is all of our own choosing, a service that Zumbi are happy offering to any prospective purchaser.

For those interested in the background of Zumbi, Pinkbike had an interview with Pawel late last year which can be found here. She's a bright one! Our Zumbi F came painted in this rather attention seeking and grabbing fluorescent yellow. Definitely not the colour for you if you're of a shy and retiring disposition.

Unfortunately it didn't stay this shiny for long, but it still stands out. The mountain goat offers up intentions of sure-footedness and this definitely rang true. Proud of their Polish heritage, Zumbi have a look that is at odds with swooping carbon and hydroformed shapes prevalent on so many bikes, but don't look any the worse for it. Ten years ago this would have been considered slack and long for even a downhill race bike.

How times have changed - now even trail bikes have degree head angles. The area around the bottom bracket is busy, with shock mountings note that the shock basket on new frames now fits larger shocks such as the CCDB , internal cable routing exiting from the down tube, and forward mounting points for the lower linkage.

The taco remains for those misjudged moments. A plan of best intentions; don't take for granted how difficult it can be to get cable routing just right. We had intended to run the brake hose, dropper line and gear cable down the downtube, out through the shock basket and then along the chainstays.

Unfortunately, the last minute nature of this build left us short of a full sized tapered headtube which didn't leave us with sufficient space to run all the lines between the steerer of the fork and the inside of the headtube.

Aside from this minor problem the theory seems sound, and by running the hose along the chainstays protected with some auto washer fluid hose, they're both out of harm's way. Handmade in Poland and proud. Being small means Zumbi manufacture most of their bikes to order, which makes it the ideal opportunity to give riders the option to personalise their frames with geometry and other little tweaks. We have no shame here in abusing bikes in the name of objective testing.

And be in no doubt that turning up and punishing a bike for a week at the Megavalanche is tantamount to abuse. This was day one. Enduro racing is where a bike like this really excels, so it was three races in three weeks to put it through some challenges. The Megavalanche came first, followed by the Maxiavalanche in Cervinia before finishing up our European trip with the SRAM Enduro in Kronplatz along with several other mountain towns in between.

The terrain might not be any different but racing does help show weaknesses and niggles with bikes; whether that be on the trail, or when wrenching on it in the evenings. Fully suspended by Fox. When we were building this bike up we were keen to get our hands on the new Float-X and match it with a pair of the spec 34 CTD's to confirm the improvements in tune over the previous model year.

Unfortunately neither of these were available at the time so we settled for a tuned Float CTD shock on the back, tuned to the bike's suspension curve, and Fox's Factory 36 RC2 fork up front. Having now had a chance to ride the spec 34 CTD we'd have no hesitation in using that in place of the older 36, despite the larger chassis.

If you're looking at an enduro bike then you could do a lot worse than look to Poland and Zumbi with their F In standard guise you get a bike with an efficient and highly capable rear end.

Add in the option of custom geometry and a whole new world opens up along with a number of aesthetic changes which all combine to really produce an individual bike. Do you want an individual bike though, or would you prefer to go for tried and tested? If it's the former then the Zumbi offers a very credible option that can be tuned to cater for a wide range of riding, whether your focus is on the gravity assisted side of enduro or a more all-round bike that can ride all types of terrain, all day, every day.

Given the number of options available, including the introduction of B, it's safe to say that there should be plenty of scope for you to get the exact bike you want. Excellent review. To partially quote a dead guy, your writing is "like a woman's skirt: short enough to arouse interest but long enough to cover the essentials.

Fuglio May 14, at Awesome Review. Thanks for all the good words and its awesome seeing the F11 full review here! Thanks Al! I still have some nice trails to show You around our mountains Thanks Pinkbike! If You are interested in our frames and have any technical questions please contact me at pawel zumbicycles.

Zumbi - always a brand I overlook and I don't know why!!! I certainly will be checking one out next as the custom geo is very appealing to me , it looks fly also!! Still making 26", Go home Zumbi , you are drunk. It's available in b version so what are you talking about? Sidor May 14, at What now 26" are bad? Last time I rode my bike it was pretty much the same as before B and 29" came out, and please tell me what are your tire options in b???

They are old, not marketed and they make you slower when riding on the internet. How fast are the wheels depends on how little you brake, so no mater what size you ride, brakeless is faster. Yes, but so far you have wider range of 26" tires, not for long probably since it's no longer a standard wheel size.

To guataisi, Nothing crude about that welding mate, looks like very good work to me! Hand welded frames will always have little nuances and differences compared to mass produced machine welded frames and you get the added bragging rights of being on a hand built unique bike!

Maybe you're right, but as you know the welding cords are polished many times, so "unpolished" might be the right word here. Clarkeh May 14, at I liked how you added a lot more content about the set up Psi and playing with HA and travel, and why you did it.

Added much more to the review. Zumbi33 May 14, at I'm the proud owner of the F DH Bike. I have dealt with Pawel for a number of years now, and I must say that the customer service has been second to none better than I can imagine with much larger companies.

If your are interested in buyin a Zumbi in North America please get in touch with is as we are the North American distributor. Awesome good to know. It may be a few years before I feel comfortable customizing my own geo. Bike looks great, just had a look at the website, you can alter effective top tube, head tube, head angle and wheel base. Unsurprisingly you can't alter the seat tube angle, I presume as this would completely change the pivot location for the rear.

Along with a 66 head tube angle, a BB high enough to aviod pedal strikes WAKIdesigns May 14, at How does how tall you are alter the pedalling position via st angle IF the saet tube goes straight to the BB meaning that effective st angle stays the same regardless of seat height?

Steep seat angles are nice for seated pedalling, for standing and cornering, not so much. I mean there is a compromise made. Take note the range of movement of our bodies and the dynamic character of MTB vs very static and very long dostance character of Road racing where "bike fit" plays a significant role.

I'm not saying you are wrong, just consider this One thing is sure, having set back seat posts available, designing a bike with st angle is a good safe bet. I just like to have a very forward position in the saddle, and pushing the saddle forward is generally not enough - or a reversed set back pole can't with a dropper. On most frames, even XL frames this puts my saddle position well back towards the rear axle, terrible place for climbing. With the advent of the dropper post, a steep STA has no negative for someone with excessively long legs to get a good climbing, cornering and descending position.

Hopefully my mumblings make some sense. I haven't thought of relation seat - back axle. But I am also a weird guy, I like short stays and have no probs climbing on them. In technicla terrain I actualy find them helpful as it is easier to get on top of a step. Thanks anyways. Waki if in the seated position you are too close to the rear axle your front end will lift during steep uphill pedaling.

It's not preference it's simple phisics. Weight distribution is very important for climbing. No spaced, my ht has mm stays and 72 angle and I climbed the steepest sht there can be. Gearing maybe? Od have to try with a front mech and granny. I even have it on film, but as you know, steepness is impossible to show on movies or pictures.

I may put an edit on PB soon. If something is possible it doesn't mean it's the best solution. In hardtail you don't have the back end sagging down and becoming slacker so 72 in a hardtail is probably way over 75 in a fully. Good point. As I wrote in PM.
