Yes and I like it, Black, think its the 2010 or 11. Fits well and is light
you will never improve untill you try something STUPID!

Collected the Feature from the Post Office this morning. Will definitely be of more use on the trails than my Atmos.

In comparison, it isn't :) but as speed is less of an issue, I would imagine it would suffice.

have asked LBS to get a Xar in stock in my size to check it out, but eish, R1 850... trying to figure out if it's worth it. And no, I'm not buying a Flux again...

I have a Zar - super comfy and great fit
If you are in control you are not going fast enough

Actually I've just noticed that buycycle.co.za have the 2012 Flux back in stock at R829... as much as I am PO'd with Fox's distributor, I can't fault my Flux and right now I can't justify the extra R1 000, even though Giro's replacement policy is much better... so looks like I'm getting another Flux :(

Just saw that too. It is a tempting deal. I prefer the black and titanium to the punk colours

The money I'm saving could go to a pair of 5.10s

Just sayin...
