Get into a new gear with A New Leaf-XG!
Return to Riding
With light and easy balancing, riders can cruise around town, on a path, or simply ride down a quiet street to feel the breeze in their face. It’s time to get back on the saddle… literally! This amazing XG edition of A New Leaf has been given more attention to detail than ever, ensuring a stronger, safer, and more moving experience.
A New Leaf XG is specifically designed to be safe for riders up to 550lbs. The attention to detail in every part of the design will enable you to move SAFELY, comfortably and easily around town –on paved roads, local bike paths, or gravel trails. As with our other custom-designed and built ZIZE Bikes, these have a weight capacity of 550 pounds, aircraft-quality chromoly steel frames, hydraulic disc brakes, double-bolted seat posts, and custom-built wheels. Built for years of use, each component is selected for significantly higher strength and durability.
The Frame and Fork
At ZIZE Bikes, we started with a frame and fork that will hold you, no matter what. The benefit of using aircraft-grade chromoly steel for our frame and fork is that it is exceptionally strong, long-lasting and lighter than regular steel. This provides the strength and comfort ZIZE Bikes always provides.
The Drive Train with Newly Added External Gears
New external gears have been added to all the XG models to make for an even smoother shifting experience. It is one of the features of the ZIZE Bikes’ Yonder model that so many of our customers have loved. As you will see in the SPECIFICATIONS tab, the reliable Shimano Altus drivetrain provides 9 gears that shift smoothly on both city streets and bike trails. Among our other quality drive-train components, the high-strength crank is a must for A New Leaf XG. It can withstand the increased pedaling force from a heavy rider, making a typical fail-point on standard bikes a non-issue for ZIZE Bikes’ riders.
Tires
The tires on the ZIZE Bikes are another important feature that are designed to hold you and give you confidence. 36 spokes and double-wall rims increase the strength and durability you expect in a ZIZE Bike. One of the reasons A New Leaf XG is so versatile is the wide (26” x 2.10”) tires with high thread count. These tires are ideal for multi-surface use, making the bike more stable on softer surface conditions like gravel and giving you more speed on smoother, harder surfaces like paved bike-paths. The puncture-proof tire liners give you increased safety and confidence.
The Brakes
On a bike designed to be safe for heavy riders, the quality and strength of the brake system is of the utmost importance. For A New Leaf XG we have chosen Clark M2F hydraulic disc brakes for their superior stopping power. The twin piston calipers of the M2 deliver superb braking performance in all weather conditions. Supported by a sleek and compact lever design, this braking system provides exceptional reliability and consistent performance.
The Handlebars
The wide, upright handlebars with a substantial adjustable stem allow for an upright, ergonomic, cycling position around town and on the trails.
The Saddle and Seatpost
The seat, otherwise known as the saddle, is a wider, shock-absorbing seat with a double-clamped, chromoly steel, seat post to keep the saddle securely in place. Be sure to have the bike shop set the proper seat height for maximum comfort – See the R.I.D.E.S. program (“Ride It Daily Extended Service”) for assembly, maintenance, and more.
Be Moved
A New Leaf XG will not only hold you while you cruise through the neighborhood but move your spirit with the thrill you have been longing for. We’ve done the engineering, so you can just ride! If you are looking for an easy way to become more active, get into shape, or just add more fun to a sunny day, A New Leaf XG is ready to ride.

Love it! I’m 6-3” and weigh 375 lbs. I love cycling, but snapped my hybrid bike frame last summer. I’ve been struggling to find a suitable bike since. I live in the UK and couldn’t find a suitable bike at any price locally, but this firm was recommended to me by an expert at a big national bike shop. This bike arrived last week and I love it. I had to fix on handlebars, pedals, seat and front wheel and mud guard myself. The mud guard was the fiddliest bit. The seat was huge, and padded like sofa. I’ve taken it off and replaced it with a smaller one from my old bike. My wife wants the big seat for her bike though, so nothing wasted! The bike looks like a really well made, strong, expensive commuter bike, but with massive tires. I’ve been using it on road and on canal tow paths. Its smooth and comfortable and silent to ride. The internal nexus 8 speed years are great. You can change gear while stationary, which is handy for traffic lights, and they are advertised as maintenance free, so fingers crossed I’ll have no bother there. I’m certainly not missing the 27 gears on my previous bike, and I cycled up the pretty steep 5 Rise Locks in Bingley yesterday which is the steepest stretch I ever tackled on my old bike. My only complaint is that the bottom bracket is a tiny bit loose. Its beyond my skill to fix so I’m taking it to a shop this week. I had to pay a fortune in shipping to the UK, and another fortune in UK import duty but the bike was worth it. All in all, I love this bike, and as the sun is shining, I’m off out right now for a ride.

Thanks so much for offering bikes like this! I am so glad you are providing these bicycles. My son, who the bike is for, is mentally challenged and he loves to ride his bike. Bikes were never big enough so we would go through lots of tires, rims and frames. Again, I thank you.

The main reason I got my Zize Bike is so I can finally ride bikes with my 10 year old daughter. I had been searching high and low for a bike that would support my weight. I am so excited to be able to ride with my daughter and to know that we will have so many great times together because of my Zize Bikes investment.

I wanted to get back into riding but being 6’7” and 300 pounds it is hard to find resources for riders my size. So excited to find you guys and purchase my own Zize Bike. This thing rocks!

I love my Zize Bike because, as a 6ft tall person, it was hard to find a bike that fit! I used to love to bike as a kid, and I thrilled to reinvigorate that love when I go off to college this fall. My campus is within biking distance of all kinds of fun activities in Roanoke, and I want to take advantage of them while both exercising and having a great time 🙂

Have had this bike for over 2 years, and I ride it every single day. Without adding anything else to my routine, I’ve lost 75 pounds, just riding. So solid. Such an excellent investment.

It had been 30 years since I’d ridden. A typical summer vacation for me was an extended multi day ride. After my cancer diagnosis, it became imperative for me to improve my health. I’m thrilled to be back on my way to health by eating better and riding daily. My goals: get healthy, and live long enough to walk my daughter down the aisle.

I ride my bicycle because I love it more every time I ride. I ride because I need to lose weight and I can feel myself getting stronger. I ride because I’m a professional driver and they amped up the DOT physical, so I’m trying to get and stay healthier. I ride because my son loves it as much as I do.
