Zeagle regs

Maybe Atomic is just ****ing with Zeagle a little bit.

"WHY - Allows the highly-specialized Atomic regulator team to supervise, monitor and improve Zeagle regulator product quality."

Anyone know when the ZF8 and the high performance upgrade kit are coming out?

I've heard spring 2015 for the F8. Nothing more definitive yet.

I'm super excited about the new Zeagle regs. They look amazing and the performance will only improve upon Zeagle's solid reputation now that Atomic is involved...
Spring 2015 is what I heard...

Are the "new" seconds going to incorporate the Atomic seat saver? Also. has there been a cosmetic change so that one can distinguish between the Zeagle Zeagle regs from the Huish Zeagle regs?

Thanks. That answers my questions. Are there any changes in the first stages?

 

[divad]

I was told "no" and the kits will still be available.

I'm hoping they come out with a 5 port turret diaphragm which would be awesome to give us a US made option....

Boy, I sure hope so. When they dropped the 50D, all I could think was "What the hell are you thinking?"

High-Performance Upgrade Kit includes the following second stage parts:

• New polished Stainless Steel orifice with mirror-polished end detail.
• New low-pressure second stage seat for improved cracking effort that dramatically extends the seat life.
• New poppet for improved tolerances and performance.
• New Atomic Super Alloy spring and new balance chamber prevents spring binding for improved performance.

My dealer confirmed with Zeagle yesterday that these kits are available and has ordered me two. He didn't mention or confirm any 1st stage upgrades to the FH7.

I'll be ordering a couple Monday to see if they are real. Not sure what they mean by "improved cracking effort" as I can already get them to tune down to .8 without an issue.
