Profile Racing – Why the Z Coaster?
Yesterday, we got a look at how the slack cam rings work on Profile Racing’s Z-Coaster, now we have two videos featuring Chad DeGroot explaining how the Z-Coaster works! There’s also some flatland riding from Chad putting the hub to good use to go with it. No word on exact release, but Profile Racing said this is the month, so keep your eye out if you’re on the hunt for one.

Today is the day I’m sure a bunch of you have been waiting for! Profile Racing have released a bunch of videos giving us a look at all the different slack options for their Z-Coaster that has been in the works for quite a while. They have even released a video showing you how to change the slack cam ring which gives the first look INSIDE the hub since that has been top secret until now… Even the samples the team riders are on are welded sealed so they couldn’t open them! Check out the different videos below! The final video may of interest to most of us!! The Z-Coaster should be available by the end of April if all goes to plan!
