Our Review
The CF Insane is simply the end-loaded CF Zen, identical aside from weight distribution. Holding a 33/30 side by side with the Zen, the Insane felt like a 34/31, that's how dramatic the end-load is. Pop is great and vibration is virtually non-existent, so if you like a composite barrel with a heavy end-load, this is the way to go.
Pros & Cons

- Virtually non-existent vibration
- 3Fusion connection redirects energy back into the barrel
Cons
- Heavy end-load feels like a full size up, so it's not for everyone
- Shares the CF lineup's composite durability concerns
