Adrian Armstrong is a mountain bike coach residing in Wellington, New Zealand. He previously coached Zerode rider Sam Shaw and after seeing Sam on the Taniwha made the jump and purchased one. He's now one year deep aboard the Taniwha and sent us through his thoughts. Have a read below: “Dedication to getting out and about on the bike has led me to heading further afield with the rising confidence that can only lead a rider like me to impending doom. Pads, yes those stinky things that I remember donning when doing runs or stunts years ago whent I knew I would inevitably come second best, are a must for the Taniwha rider. Why? I hear you ask. Well the bike just lets you have that much more fun on the trail that you will find yourself riding well outside your comfort zone without even knowing and inevitably becoming reacquainted with the ground- usually at high speed or from a great height. This does however; lead one to getting fitter without any realisation as the enjoyment factor of this bike just encourages more riding.

Every wondered what it would be like to own your ultimate bike? It has been a long time coming and I certainly have been very privileged to throw my leg over many a great stead but the Taniwha is a bike that just keeps on giving. Fun, fast, reliable, NZ designed; I mean what isn’t to like.” - Adrian Armstrong

"I was in my local dealer here in Salt Lake City, Utah to pick a new tube for my road bike when I spotted the carbon Taniwha. I asked the sales rep about the Taniwha and he said I should demo the bike for the day. I wasn’t in the market for a new bike but, reluctantly decided to give it a shot. As I drove away with the demo bike all I could think was I don’t need another bike and I sure hope I don’t like this bike. I knew my wife would kill me if I purchased another bike. At the time I owned several high end carbon bikes so, the last thing I needed was another bike. However I took the bike out and put it thru it’s paces. I was hooked within minutes. I loved everything about this bike and couldn’t get the smile off of my face while riding it. Quickly I knew I had a serious problem. How was I going to own this bike. A few weeks went by and I couldn’t stop thinking about the Taniwha even when I was out riding my other bikes. I came up with a plan to sell a few of my bikes, some parts and a bunch of stuff in my garage. It was just enough money to get me a Taniwha. Let me say this bike is worth every dollar! I’ve been riding this thing about a year now and can’t get enough of this “machine”. It tracks incredibly and is an absolute beast with anything I throw at it. Would recommend this bike to anyone!!!" - Brandon Wells.

Fin and Rob spent a little time in the Zerode workshop putting together a limited run of trail tools recently.
Anyone that has ridden here in Rotorua NZ is quite likely to have a favourite trail sculpted with one of these tools, probably in the hands of Mark Thompson or/and Rob Metz. Think Billy T, Kataore, Te Mounga, Te Ahi Manawa, Frankenfurter, Riff Raff, Rocky Horror, Box of birds, Tuhoto Ariki, Taura and more.
As far as we are concerned, they are a goldilocks tool, not too heavy, not too light, ergonomically pleasing and multi-functional.
If you are serious about hand building trails this is the tool for you. Be warned there is only a few of these! if demand is high, we will think about making more to order. If you are keen to buy one message us on here or they are available on the Zerode website. Link in bio.
Happy trails... Rob and Fin

Reason number 2 you should ditch your derailleur for a gearbox driven bike:

Shifting performance is the same in all weather conditions

The lack of external shifting components also ensures reliable shifting in all weather/riding conditions. Derailleur systems see deteriorating performance when it is wet and mucky, making this benefit more pronounced the worse conditions become. Unlike a derailleur, you can literally bathe your gearbox in mud and it will still function the same. -

"Couldn't recommend this bike more. I can't see myself getting any other bike than a Taniwha in the future simply because I'll know I'm not riding to my full potential. The bike shows you the rider you really can be." - Reuben Van De Dool.
That's the final comment from Reuben in his video after he was 8 seconds faster on a two and a half minute track on a Taniwha compared to a Trek Remedy. Have a look at our previous post to get the full story.
