Ever talk to a Lazer Z owner about his machine? No? In conversation, owners usually throw out comments like, “Best machine ever,” “It’s a workhorse. Just keeps going and going,” “No way am I going to use anything else,” and “Don’t even think about jumping on my machine.” What causes them to make such strong statements? With the Lazer Z, it could be a number of things. Like its simple design, resulting in fewer parts and less maintenance. And its undeniable cut quality that fosters pride from the operator and envy from everyone else. And we can’t forget about the increased comfort factor. See, so many things to like about the Lazer Z. Maybe you should ride one and chime in with your very own strong statement.
