Description
The Big-Wheeled Enduro Weapon
The Zerode Taniwha 29 is built to completely redefine your limits on a mountain bike. Combining the speed and confidence of 29″ wheels with the proven Taniwha platform, this bike delivers unmatched stability, control, and capability across the toughest trails.
The large wheels provide exceptional rollover ability, allowing you to maintain momentum through rough terrain and technical sections. This confidence-inspiring character lets you push harder, ride faster, and arrive at the bottom of the trail waiting for your riding buddies — while still maintaining an efficient climbing platform for long adventures.
At the heart of the Taniwha 29 is the reliable Pinion C.Line gearbox and Gates Carbon Drive system. The centralized drivetrain improves suspension performance, reduces maintenance, and removes the vulnerability of a traditional derailleur setup.
Built around a lightweight carbon fibre frame with 160 mm rear travel, the Taniwha 29 combines enduro capability with long-distance reliability. Whether you are racing enduro, exploring technical trails, or chasing personal bests, this bike is designed to inspire confidence everywhere.
