Ride outside the box

We have had a vision for what we wanted this bike to be since first throwing a leg over a MTB in

1992. Advances in materials and manufacturing have finally allowed us to fully deliver on this

vision with the Taniwha.

Building on early DH race origins and adding modern carbon fabrication, it is a quiet,

low-maintenance 160mm Enduro bike that in essence just makes the riding experience better.

The Taniwha is ready to race at the highest level, to take on epic back country adventures or just

to put a smile on your face on the long way home from work...

Page 2 5mm hex key. Chain length Your ZERODE Taniwha uses a 30T front chainring and 30T rear sprocket. 104 chain links are required for correct chain length and tension.
Page 3: Warranty
The pinion chain tensioner requires a small modification from factory because of the gearbox orientation in the Taniwha frame. A third spring mounting hole is drilled into the spring mount and must be used for correct chain tension and retention.
