Zerode Taniwha (2017) first ride - MBR

Jul 2017 · Jamie Darlow

With its wide-ratio Pinion gearbox, the Zerode Taniwha enduro rig marries innovation to aesthetics. Superlative suspension, excels on rough terrain.

Highs
  • Superlative suspension, excels on long, steep, rough terrain. Less maintenance than standard drivetrains.

Lows

Highs
  • Suspension performance, low maintenance gearbox, three year warranty for original owner

Lows
  • Grinding gears and shifting
