WTF is a Burro-ZVO and anybody ridden one of these?

New bike mag is here and the ad for this company caught my eye. Anybody ever ridden one of these or hear anything about them?

I'm very skeptical of such small wheels re: getting hung up on just about every obstacle. Imagine the fear if you saw a log in the trail.

Might be the trick for super-technical skinnies, though.

um, gay???

just kidding, hon. heh, heh.

One of the guys came into my store a couple years back with a prototype. The thing was actually pretty fun to ride. The trials tires are fat as hell.

I've ridden these a couple times at the Interbike demo. I like 'em. The tires are super fat and these things are great for soft sandy conditions. I actually tried to convince the boss to buy one or two for his rental fleet, think they'd be great for that. I don't own one and probably never will but they are pretty burly and I would not be worrying about the tires getting hung up.
