Zelvy is an Australian brand which makes carbon wheels and now complete bikes in Australia. They offer fairly impressive prices given that all the labor-intensive carbon layup work is actually done in the country, and a free worldwide shipping distribution method makes sure you can get the goods wherever you are. Brand new for 2016 is the company's first foray into frame manufacturing, with the 200-mm travel Preston DH frame.

With its multi-link rear suspension layout it bears more than a fleeting resemblance to the Iron Horse Sunday of old - and a 2.8 kg Iron Horse Sunday frame sounds like something we should be stoked about. That's what the Preston weighs in at, and with a 63 degree head angle, a 448-mm chainstay, and a 1230mm wheelbase for the size L, it is also resolutely modern in regards to its geometry.

Zelvy also makes a trail bike, the 168-mm travel Highlife. Weighing in at just 2.4 kgs for the frame, it sports a 65.5 degree head angle and a 360-mm BB.
