Description
Sometimes it takes more than a good pedal cadence to crest a hill. Sometimes you need a Zeppelin. From its 5" travel 6060 aluminum frame with RockShox Dart 2 fork to its SRAM shifters/derailleurs and Tektro Novela Sport hydraulic brakes, the Zeppelin was built to soar ? up one side of the mountain and down the other.

Pros: Frame, graphics.

Cons: Components on this bike aren't the greatest.

Recommendation: As with the other Airborne bikes, this is selling for much less than the "MSRP." I think the couple of hundred dollars required for the upgrade to the Zeppelin Elite is well worth it in the upgraded components. If you're looking at a Zeppelin, go with the elite!
