Black Diamond Zealot (2012)
Tester's Review
The redesigned Zealot is " much improved, fun, aggressive, and playful, all at the same time," said one hard charger. Rocker in both the tip and tail smooths the ride and helped it score the day's highest flotation marks. In fact, BD rejiggered its entire freeride line and, judging by our testers' reactions, the brand's future looks promising.
