What's the difference?

Assuming the decals are correct it’s a 97 Zaskar.

97 LE would have CNC dropouts , seatstay bridge. Also would have butted headtube and integrated seat clamp

The LE decals that don’t match are from a 98.

The 6061 decal is also upside down which I’ve seen a few times too

Do you think those bars and seatpost (sorry typed stem!) are Ti? Colour looks right.

Well, there's an argument waiting to happen

Technically, it is a "Light Edition" as it has the machined dropouts. Later ones also had a cnc seat clamp area too

My own earlier LE had no machining but did have titanium finishing kit

It doesn’t have the machined CNC dropouts- it has the standard ones hence if it’s a 97 frame (as the decals suggest ) it’s a standard Zaskar frame.

If it was a 96 or prior frame they are identical frame wise from a Zaskar to LE and only the spec (XTR) made them a LE.

97 onwards MY is when they changed to two different frames and mild changes happened to both in 98 and 99 to both frames.
