Taniwha Trail

It’s time to rethink the capabilities of a trail bike. Designed to pedal and then pedal some more while providing more than enough capability when things get rough, the Taniwha Trail is up for some serious fun.

It doesn’t shy away from trail jibs, nose bonks and airtime but if you like to keep your wheels on the ground it’s your friend too. The Taniwha Trail provides an extremely quiet ride that will put a smile on your face ride after ride.

wide single speed hub

Wider flange spacing than anything super boost and symmetrical spoke angles means your wheel is ultra stiff. It also means you can build up lighter wheels.

world renowned zerode suspension

It’s no lie. We are renowned for the suspension performance of our bikes so don’t think the Taniwha is any different.

more traction

By moving the unsprung weight of a derailleur and cassette from the back wheel to the bottom bracket, the rear of the bike becomes lighter and the suspension is free to work like no other bike you've ever ridden - giving it more traction and allowing for a much more compliant confidence-inspiring ride.

600% gear range

With such a massive range, you'll have the confidence to quickly change to your desired gear when you're tackling the most varied terrain and bust through it with ease.

simple

There’s no dinner plate sized cassettes or fragile derailleurs to snap off. It’s just simple, durable and reliable.

gearbox driven

At the heart of the Taniwha is the Pinion Gearbox. Instantaneous shifting, low maintenance and improved traction are just a few of the benefits the gearbox provides.

happy riders worldwide

★★★★★

I sure as hell felt like I was full of indestructible teenage courage & angst. With traction for days & tank-like stability, you can go wherever you want when you're riding the Taniwha. The bike has a stability to it, or maybe a calmness is a better way to put it, that makes a rider feel like they're more skilled & brave.
