My new Zumbi F-44 Ti and VooDoo frames just arrive from Poland. I am psyched! They look sweet. Can't wait to build them up.
What do you guys think?

I have not put them on the scales yet but according to their website the F-44 weighs in at 3920g (8.64lbs) without shock and the VooDoo is 2490g (5.49lbs).

I hate poland.
Bike looks nice though. What's TI on it.

Very clean & simple.
VPP patent infringement?
VPP patent infringement?
All of the pivot axles
The links move in the same direction, VPP links move in opposite directions of each other. So no, it doesn't infringe on VPP patents.
I see what you mean on the V10, but not the other SC VPPs. I'm not arguing, just honest curiosity.
isnt the VPP patent also based on the s shape of the wheel path?
blur, vp free, nomad
bottom linkage rotates in a clockwise manner
top link counter clockwise in to the shock
v10 is the opposite
Yes that sucked. I was really hoping to show them off at the Snowmass race but oh well. I will have them both fully built by the Finals in August. You are more than welcome to try it out then!
Joe, the frames look great!!! Let me know how they perform. You may want to call Malcom at Cane Creek and get a DB shock for it. That would match up really nice with your Froks your selling. PM me when you have details on the build.

Correct, pivot axels and also hardware. Although this frame was not ordered with the ti upgrade, kinda wanted to see the regular version first.
Thanks! Just waiting for some shock hardware to arrive. Both frames should be done in about a week (if all goes well)
I will most certainly post pics of the final build!
Those things look sooo nice. I assume you will be using Showa forks. I want full reviews of everything. I am slightly out of the loop with your current distributing but are you thinking of becoming the US distributer for Zumbi?Thanks! Just waiting for some shock hardware to arrive.

Thanks Cecil, I am ultimatly planning to build it with an Avy (either chubie or woodie) as that is what they come speced with. But for now I am going to build it with a manitou swinger that I just happen to have sitting around.
Yes, I will be using the Kowa 180ci fork on the DH and the 160ssAIR on the HT. FYI, Kowa and Showa are not related (two totally different Japanese companies).
And yes, If things work out (and I have no reason to believe they won't), I will be the US distributor for Zumbi.
Nice to see some positive interest in ZUMBI!
as for suspension I highly recommend Avalanche as Craig always does a great job on setting the shocks spot on specifically for both our models.

SWEET let us know how they ride that f-44 is sick
gorgeous! cant wait to hear how it rides.
Well, after one day on the F-44 I must say it rides nice, I am very impressed. As this was the first day an the rig, there was alot of adjusting going on to get things dialed, but after that it was a blast.
Initial impression, the bike has kind of a sitting "in it" not "on it" feel. Which was kinda nice compared to my old Azonic Recoil.
It pedaled really well, not alot of bob. Seemed like most of the power was getting to the rear wheel.
As far as cornering, I guess the best way to describe it was "predictable", it just goes where you point it. Not too much pushing or drifting unless you told it to.
Granted this was just my initial impression after just one day, I am sure I will add more as I get more time on it.

How much are the f-44 running with the shock
Yeah I figured it was a good idea. I've seen people get flamed into oblivion for not disclosing that they had a finacial interest in some product that they were hyping.nice disclaimer
Thanks,
Sorry I dont have my pricelist with me at the moment. I will PM you with the specifics later this evening, ok?
Thanks!
hit me with a pm too please
hey, just out of curiosity, what did u think of the Kowa?

Yup, and the sad thing is that they are prolly too stupid to just look at your sig. Anyway, are you going to get a site up for doing sales on the various products your selling? You have put together a list of cool and unique companies.
PMs sent to those who asked for them...
I like them. A very nice low stiction fork. Do a search on Kowa here on ridemonkey to check out some previous threads on their forks. Please let me know if you have any specific questions and I will be happy to answer.
FYI, I am their distributor also.
