Saracen Zenith Elite LSL long-term review

Dec 2020 · Max Wilman

Fun, flicky and fast, this hardtail has very few drawbacks when it comes to natural trail riding or days out in the bike park

Highs
  • Handles rough terrain well

  • Climbs well

  • Low centre of gravity

Lows
  • Can be difficult to get the front wheel up

  • Saracen's custom saddle and grips

  • Tubeless ready but not set up tubeless

Saracen Zenith Pro review - MBR

Jul 2019 · Paul Burwell

With its double-butted aluminium frame, the Saracen Zenith Pro is one of the lightest bikes in the whole 2019 Hardtail of the Year test.

Highs
  • Superb handling, parties hard on the singletrack

Lows
  • Poor quality suspension fork with only friction damping
