Expirience with the Cervelo ZFS-5 XO T-Type Trail

Cervelo ZFS-5 XO T-Type Trail Review
Ludwig Döhl
With 120 mm suspension travel on the fork, the ZFS-5 XO T-Type Trail is significantly more comfortable than its purist brother from the Race segment. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Cervelo. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. The seating position is sporty. On climbs, other bikes in the above 8000 Euro present a little better performance than the Cervelo ZFS-5 XO T-Type Trail. For trail lovers, one point dominates: the Cervelo ZFS-5 XO T-Type Trail scores in the decent with an extremely good geometry, a high-quality suspension and grippy tires.
