GT says

The Legend Lives On. The only hard-tail in the world to win both a downhill and a XC World Championship, the Zaskar perhaps reflects GT's design philosophy better than any other bike we make. 2011 marks the 20th anniversary of the arguably most storied race bike in mountain bike history to mark the occasion, we've built an all new Carbon Zaskar. Featuring a frame made with FOC Ultra, GT's NEW proprietary Carbon Construction Method, the 2011 Zaskar is over 300g savings lighter than the previous iteration. The legend lives on.

This innovative idea was claimed to reduce the amount of vibration transferred to the seat fr
