Zerode founder and Taniwha designer Rob Metz puts on the GoPro and takes us for a ride down two trails he built in the Whakarewarewa Forest.
The first trail, Tuhoto Ariki, was built by Rob and friends all the way back in 2007, that’s 12 years ago! Kataore, the second trail, was built by Rob and friends in 2014. Rob is riding one of our Taniwha Muléts which has a 29er front wheel and 27.5 rear wheel, a set up he has been riding for well over 3 years now.

Rob, Zerode Founder, gives us a run down about some of the background of the Katipo design, some nice features and more. The Katipo is our new full 29er that available in both 140mm and 160mm travel options. For everything you need to know about the Katipo hit the link below.

MULET CURIOUS? GET THE BIKE BUT NOT THE HAIRSTYLE.
Business in the front, party in the back. The new Taniwha Mulét has a 29er front wheel and 27.5 inch back wheel and we explain the benefits.
We do not limit ourselves to the confines of traditional thinking. The Taniwha Mulét is no exception. When you are on the Taniwha Mulét the advantages are immediately obvious—a bike that retains the poppy playfulness of 27.5” wheels, but offers the benefits of larger wheels up front where they count the most.
We head in the forest to debunk the myths around shifting on the Zerode Taniwha with the Pinion Gearbox. It is different to shift than a conventional drive train, but once you get accustomed to it, it can greatly improve your riding. We show you some real world scenarios and also some not so common scenarios it is beneficial.
We often get people asking if they can have a look around our head quarters so we thought we would give everyone a look into the behind the scenes of what happens at Zerode.
Nothing but the sounds of knobs in the dirt and rims pinging roots. Sam Shaw is absolutely pinned in New Zealand aboard his Zerode Taniwha with Pinion gearbox drivetrain.
Steve Chewy Gould gives us his in depth view of the 2020 Katipo Trail and puts it through it’s paces. Steve is located in Hong Kong and even showcases a few cool looking trails!
The team at DREAM BUILD MTB put together this oddly satisfying edit of a Taniwha build from scratch. This is a great clip which showcases how the Pinion Gearbox integrates perfectly with our Zerode frames.
