The new Zulu One builds on its legacy of innovation with significant weight reductions and groundbreaking BALANCE-TEC™ conversion system. The patent-pending BALANCE-TEC system is the first-ever balance-bike-to-pedal-bike conversion that doesn't compromise pedaling performance.
The Zulu One features:
- A new smaller rear cog combined with a smaller chainring reduces weight while maintaining climbing-friendly gear ratios
- Adjustable rear dropouts enable precise chain tension and wheelbase tuning
- THRU-TUBE seat tube design increases fit range to accommodate growing riders
- Sealed cartridge bearings throughout for superior durability
- High-volume Kenda Booster tires for improved traction and ride comfort
