Pawel about ZUMBI-
“As the owner and designer of ZUMBI I am an avid DH rider/racer and in my designs I’m trying to accomplish the ultimate ride. I have a masters degree in Engineering. Everything I do is connected with mountains which I love. Besides biking I snowboard, ski and climb. I designed and built my first frame in 2003. We use the best materials like 7020 Oria tubing, 7075 aluminum, Ti6Al4V titanium and high grade stainless steel. All the frame parts are CNC machined and hand welded at our facility in Poland. Our welders are ex-MIG aircraft welders with over 30 years of experience. We are proud becoming a sponsor of a professional racing team this year with top ten World class athletes in DH, 4X and BMX.”
New for 2009:
T-20, 20” wheel trials frame, Quilombo fixie frame. Our flagship DH racing frame, F-44 got a slightly revised geometry with the BB lowered and ISCG mounts. The DH Team and Voodoo frames also got ISCG mounts as standard. We offer our Reaktor headset in full titanium version in limited quantities. We started working with Fox Racing Shox. Our full suspension frames are now equipped with Fox DHX 5 and DHX air shocks custom set by MOJO UK. Besides Fox we continue offering our frames with Avalanche Downhill Racing suspension units.
All our products will be presented during this years Eurobike (www.eurobike-exhibition.de) and EHBE handmade bikes trade show (www.e-h-b-e.eu)

It is new in the sense of the world team etc however the bikes have been in production for gettin on 7 years now i think.

Nice one Hatch!
It didn't say the 4X races, so are Charlie Phillips and Hatch gonna be doing the NPSs?

Cheers dude, yeah myself Charlie Phillips, Liam Phillips and Jason King will be at all of the NPS 4X races in 09 and any other regional and european 4X races that we can get to
maybe just add that that frame was one of the first dh teams made. It was almost two years raced when that fella bought it and still he got a 1 year warrenty on it.After two repairs we finally replaced the swingarm. Why wont You write bout that??
Anything can brake, I've seen broken V10, Demos, Giants and many many more. This happens when you are using frame !! 1, 5 or even 10 broken Zumbi's ? So what ? how many % of manufactured and sold Zumbis is it ? Any ... How many 2005 demo's 9 broke near the shock mount ... 80-90% ? or more ... Polish people are f... wierd.
beryl's comment reminds me of finest samples of polish hooligans burning down the stadium of their own team... similar mentality i believe
ZUMBI GO! Congrats! Im damn proud of U! Finally a polish frame out there! Congrats to pionieers 
! Mostly due to the fact that you were modest for all these years, unlike Duncon blistering about how great they are, that they are market leaders bla bla bla... respect, and bows, low bows CHEERS!!!

Not great looking rigs?!? These are one the best going mate! Go on www.4mountains.co.uk and thats the site for the new 2009 team that are using them!
I agree that they don't look well, but... they perform great and thanks to simple design they are cheaper. U like all these monocoque stuff and hydroforming? no probs but pay at least 100£ more and carry this bit more weight that comes with it 
At least it works in practice, Morewood says that their bikes are meant to be simple (so they look) but U pay nearly the same as for Spec or SC...

- optional upper link stiffener brace
so there one thing what you need.. but is optional.. >?
that makes sense.. ?
and everything brakes is very true..but why does the simple single pivot design brake first ? as a race bike you dont do huge drops to my idea.. ?
and a mig was a russian jet.. not polish..i can seriously not believe russia would let polen weld their planes.. and why would a mig welder swop to bikes..
.. so..sooo.. nope thats it..

dont need the stiffener really on that frame and it weighs
each frame will brake when it hits trees which arent made of of rubber and has marks from that kind of abuse on the swingarm
well Poland was related with Russia before 89 and most of the stuff produced here was sent to Russia.The guys who weld our frames used to work with welding parts for MIG jet fighters back in those days. After comunism fell in 89 the factory "bankrupted".Some of them started working on aluminium bike frames.You dont know Polands history and how everything was f-up here and still there is influence of that bad past today trek boy

that and the MIGs had such shitty construction it's not even funny. My aerospace teacher just laughed when he finally got to see one up close in person
NorCalNomad - I want to tell you, that polish military pilots are still using very old MIG-27 planes, actually some of them are legal age (planes). While, we bought some F-16 from USA few years ago, and if you'll check closely, some of those fantastic, amazing, new F-16 broke before they arrived to Poland, and they turned back from above Atlantic Ocen. Recently we had huge affair in Poland, when there was a press release thas from 60 F-16 that we have, we are using only half, becuase the rest is constantly repaired.
Polish goverment deciced to buy F-16 because it was best offset offer. Now everybody know that it would be better to buy different planes.
And bout frames being welded by people working with MIGs. It is true, it is welded in the same company, by the same guys. No one said that whole planes were assembled in Poland, but some parts of them were.

To add something here to mr, U have no damn idea of russian skills in everything connected to metalurgy and metal manufacturing, especially with titanium parts. There was a guy in my city in PL that made a fortune on scrapheap recycling russian jetplanes full of highest quality duralinium and titanium. Furthermore polish welders work all over the world in shippyards, aircraft manufacturing, dman NASA, and they are well damn appreiciated worldwide, so appreciated that there's not much of them left in the country... and u might be assured that the guys welding zumbi frames are the at the best in the whole world. I bet many companies worldwide would kill them selves to get those guys.
NorCalNomad ask your teacher what plane can pull Pugachev's Cobra with that "shitty construction" as MIG. Ask him if F`16 can fly vertically and then suddenly shuts the engines and falls down only to regain control few moments later.. MIGs are like AK-47 that you can keen in sand, mud, water for months and will work with no problem.

NorCalNomad do you know that US sign a contract with Russia to buy Russian Titanium? And that the Russians are the best in welding titanium? When Poland was under Soviet control many technologies and know how came from Soviet union. In some cases it was good school.
I'm studding Helicopter Engineering and I know a few things about aircrafts and aerospace industry. I'm also a big fan of aviation. Mig-29 has one of the best aerodynamical designed airframes. Like F-15 it don't need Fly by wire and other stuff.
Back to the bikes...
Zumbi hardtails are pretty nice but I don't like the way full suspension frames look. Simply not my type.

So what your saying is you have such a valid opinion on a world cup DH race bike and you dont even race?
Nope trials is gay in any country.

your such a complete twat you know that.. and you cant "close the case" imbecil..
my valid opninion was > that it looks crap..! and it still does..

Its arse by the way. And trialers can kiss mine. And what is it with the smileys? Are you trying to say "Hey I'm a moron, but only for a laugh"? And to be fair Dunx, everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's just sometimes they are very wrong. I think that the Trek looks like its been put together with spit and blu-tac, and has all the aesthetic qualities of an infected boil.....but I might be wrong. I also happen to think that anyone who is STILL quoting Ace Venturer must have the mental age of 6. BMX's, trials, no friends over 17, a pseudonym that only an insecure, nausiating adolescent could come up with, and a mental age of 6.......I sense a theme developing.
the smiley is about > i dont care if i am wasting my time on a pathetic loser.. trying to piss me off while making himself a complete idiot ! here you go again..and all your wrong assumptions are almost worse than the crappy bike it began with
with you pissing on my trek while it looks better than your copycat kawasaki green zumbi..
and calling me gay while youre correcting my spelling on ass..
the lehoezeher fitted you both so it seems
come on laddy , make yourself even more pathetic reply-ing to this..
Young man, there's no need to feel down
I said young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said young man, 'cause your in a new town.
There's no need to be unhappy
Come on "Trek Boy" sing up!

Im stoked about being on the team. Cant wait to spend the following seasons with them! Http://nathanmillion.com
Holy crap you guys, quit your arguing back and forth, remember this is a blog about frames, not a history lesson. It blows me away how hate can happen so quickly when we do not know any other persons background, life, etc. ...........The frames are sweet looking and I think we all look forward to another option in mountain biking. Good luck on the race curcuit!! RIDE HARD.....RIDE FOCUSED!!!
I do find it so actually... for me it appears that zumbi is almost an ol' RMX but just with a newer geometry and lower wieght. Nevertheless I respect Zumbi as being as a polish No1 in alu frame manufacturing.

I have a 2008 Team DH.
I think its great. Brilliant in the corners.
Also, Pavel was great when I was building the bike up. He replies straight away with any tech questions. Very impressive from a Company owner.
Heres a pic,

these bikes look sick i saw the don and helen with the zumbi team at hamsterly at the start of the year.
I dunno, they look OK, everything gets better with time. I have to say I don't like the orange one because frame designs like that tend to collect a lot of dirt on the rear shock. The trials bike looks pretty damn cool though.

My F44 Ti is awesome. Had my first race on it yesterday.
It handles so sweet, and tracks super well.
I'm very happy.

Great to see so many different points of view however they work for the team and if The Don, Gaskell, Mears and Liam and Charley Phillips think they rock that is fine by me. True Pro Downhillers want to test a rig before they sign a deal, its not all about cash and these guys loved them. Zumbi are a special breed, they dont just supply the frames but will fine tune what we feel the need to change, this shows professionalism and respect for one of our main sponsors. Lets remember www.4mountains.co.uk is the team and Zumbi are its sponsor so if you want want of these babies they are doing big discounts so get on line and buy. All comments appreciated.

Harlem has done a great job on the resprays of the team frames- loving the look of them. Good luck for 2009 guys!
He didnt do them :/
He sprayed the first lot to see what they look like. The new design was done profesionally.

Amazing bikes! the other day i went riding with nathan james at hamsterly. a member of the zumbi team, he was awsome!
"Our welders are ex-MIG aircraft welders with over 30 years of experience"
Ummm bike frames are TIG welded generally as mig is dirty and not precise. 10 years TIG,MIG, OXY/ACT, ARC all metals, all positions certified.
Being a mig welder in the aerospace industry means squat about bikes. Frames look nice, but it seems as if you are trying to prove how good they are by that note.
I know 10+ people who weld on satellite parts, rocket parts, and jet fighters, and they still only understand that specific field with that specific type of welding.
Best to just say, you have qualified welders as aerospace has nothing to do with bikes, nor their integrity... and thats coming from a state champion welder...

way to be ignorant "state champ" I know you really want to impress us with your vast knowledge of welding but you should really read the first paragraph of this blog.
I was mistaken...
As for my point, none the less, there was no need to say how in depth it was. Aircraft, race car etc, its all the same boat.
As for trying to impress, I could care less, I'm a graphic designer now and could care less about welding... Simple.

And normally, welders don't say they are a mig aircraft welder. They say they are an "aerospace" welder as all the fighter jet companies are "aerospace" companies like Lockheed and boeing. So the mistake could have been easily avoided by actually being specific to the industry they welded in rather than the product they welded on.
btw my pops works for an aerospace company, hence me being so critical about it. The comment was just to sound flashy rather than just be to the point... really what my point was all about. Welders go by industry, not by product they weld. You won't see someone that works in the automotive welding industry saying I'm a frame welder. They will say, I'm a welder for the automotive industry. Welding creduentials are all about industry, not product. Simple. Sorry for the spam of posts.
Sick frames none the less.

What are you on about "sound flashy" its the truth!
Why cover up the pedegree of the welders (who have been welding bikes now for years!)

And you have a state champion welder? WTF? In that case I am Wiltshire roof-tiling county champion, North of England Junior swingball champion (1993), Wessex Van driving runner-up (3 years running), and electric phillips screwdriver using world record holder.
pedigree of the welders? Did you even read what I put? did it not register in your head?
And yes, I was a state champion welder, at age 17. I've long gone from welding besides doing truck lifting, sport truck etc fabrication. I grew up, thats all. Interests take me other wise.
O and mattsicles, around here, in the USA, we have leagues like VICA to compete with welding. Your country is so small I doubt there is any. O and to avoid your comment of you don't know squat about britain, I'm half british and have traveled there many times. They don't have squat compared to what we have for compititions in welding etc... but just because Britain is so small, nothing to do with how good people are. I'm sure if vica was in Britain there would be many people competing. Sadly you don't have such a thing.

sadly? SADLY? this just gets better! there is a welding LEAGUE! FPMSL! Hey fella if you were state champion at 17 and top of the VICA league you should have stuck at it, you could have earned some big BIG money, what with the televised international welding cup competitions, and massive transfer fee's you could have earned moving from Hicksville ARC "Storm" to The New York "Soldering Irons". Why is it the Americans see everything as a competition? Welding is a JOB, and not a very interesting one either.
Yep t3h1337r you are so rite.
We are so small we dont have any competitions.
Its a real shame we have most of the best cyclists in the world then.

What does that have any relation to having welding compititions? It doesn't. O and the "we have most of the best cyclists in the world" statement is far from true. Get over yourself.
No its not.
How many world champions has the UK got across cycling.
Most of the DH, Nearly all of the track, womens road cycling.
Oh and all the olympic medals!
It must be because we arnt wasting our time doing welding comps!

Wasting your time doing welding comps? What does welding have to do with bike racing. I never related the two as they have 0 in common. NTM there is more to this world than just bike racing... Way more.
Actually, the UK has both the male and female MIG, TIG and ARC world champions. THE BRITS PISS ON THE YANKS IN WELDING AND CYCLING!.................... I may have just made that up.
LOL, at least we have good health care here. Sucks if you guys get hurt racing. Have fun with your doctors over there
The American health care system is top class.
If you have insurance otherwise you just get left in a gutter somewhere!
