Saracen Zenith Elite LSL review

Dec 2021 · Luke Marshall

This is a very capable bike that can be pushed hard, but its stiff frame gives a less forgiving ride

Highs
  • Grippy tyres and strong brakes give confidence

  • Stable geometry means you can push the bike hard

Lows
  • Frame lacks detail

  • Limited chainstay protection results in a noisy ride

  • Dropper post has too short a stroke for taller riders

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
