Back to riding
Lightweight and easy to balance, this bike lets you ride around town or on a trail, or just feel the breeze on your face on a quiet street. It’s time to get back in the saddle…literally! This amazing XG edition of the A New Leaf has been designed with more attention to detail than ever before to ensure a stronger, safer and more agile experience Hybrid Bike.
A New Leaf XG is designed specifically for riders weighing up to 550 pounds. The attention to detail in every part of the design allows you to move SAFELY, comfortably and easily around town — on paved roads, local bike paths or gravel trails.
Like our other custom designed and built ZIZE bikes, these have a 550 pound load capacity, aircraft grade chromoly steel frames, hydraulic disc brakes, double-bolted seat posts and custom built wheels. Each component is built to last for years of use and has been selected for significantly increased strength and durability.
The frame and fork
At ZIZE Bikes, we started with a frame and fork that will stand up to you no matter what. The advantage of using aircraft grade chromoly steel for our frame and fork is that it is exceptionally strong, durable and lighter than regular steel. This provides the strength and comfort that ZIZE Bikes always provides.
The drivetrain with newly added external gears.
All XG models have been equipped with new external gears for an even smoother shifting experience. This is one of the features of ZIZE Bikes’ Yonder model that has delighted so many of our customers. As you can see in the SPECIFICATIONS tab, the reliable Shimano Altus shifting system offers 9 gears that shift smoothly both in the city and on bike trails.
Along with our other high-quality drivetrain components, the high-strength crank is a must-have for the A New Leaf XG. It can withstand the increased pedaling force of a heavy rider, so a typical dropout point on standard bikes is not a problem for ZIZE Bikes riders.
Tires
The tires on ZIZE Bikes are another important feature designed to give you support and confidence. 36 spokes and double-walled rims add to the strength and durability you expect from a ZIZE Bike. One of the reasons the A New Leaf XG is so versatile is the wide tires (26" x 2.10") with high thread count.
These tires are ideal for use on a variety of surfaces, as they make the bike more stable on softer surfaces like gravel and give you more speed on smoother, harder surfaces like paved bike paths. The puncture-resistant treads give you more security and confidence.
The brakes
For a bike that can handle heavy riders, the quality and strength of the braking system is paramount. For the New Leaf XG, we chose Clark’s M2F hydraulic disc brakes because they offer superior stopping power. The M2’s dual-piston calipers deliver outstanding stopping power in all weather conditions. Backed by a sleek and compact lever design, this braking system provides exceptional reliability and consistent performance.
The handlebar
Wide, upright handlebars with a sturdy, adjustable stem provide an upright, ergonomic riding position in town and on the trails.
The saddle and seatpost
The saddle is a wider, shock-absorbing saddle with a double-clamped chrome steel seatpost that holds the saddle securely in place. Make sure the bike shop sets the correct seat height for maximum comfort — see the R.I.D.E.S. (“Ride It Daily Extended Service”) program for installation, maintenance and more.
Get moving
A New Leaf XG will not only keep you moving while you cruise around the neighborhood, it will also move your mind with the thrill you’ve been craving. We made the technology so you can just drive! If you’re looking for an easy way to get more active, get in shape, or just have more fun on a sunny day, a New Leaf XG is ready to ride.
