GT Zasker Expert?
Discussion
My insurance company have offerred me a Zasker to replace my stolen Cube Ltd Team. Amazing difference in rrp as they failed to find a Cube despite me telling them where to get one!
I know very little about the GT, are they any good for techy single track in the woods (not too rough) and the odd bit of cross country treking, or would I be better seeing if I can swap it for another Cube?

depends whether you really liked the cube to be honest, i think the zaskar expert is a great bike on paper in terms of spec. its always been a well regarded bike since its inception in the year dot.
if you feel like a change which isnt a total shot in the dark, go for it. if however, you felt like riding the cube was a life changing experience, stick with it. personally i'd go with the GT... but then i dont get Cube's and dont like the geometry (and the short top tubes in particular)

When I got into biking in the early 90s. I soo wanted a Zaskar. Finally 12 years later. I got myself my Zaskar Expert. Even now 6 years on I still think it's the best bike I've owned. I love looking down at the litle sticker by the BB that says "Coupe du mond - Race edition" Simple things eh?if you feel like a change which isnt a total shot in the dark, go for it. if however, you felt like riding the cube was a life changing experience, stick with it. personally i'd go with the GT... but then i dont get Cube's and dont like the geometry (and the short top tubes in particular)
I recently looked at the current Carbon version. Very cool!
