OUR TRAIL PLATFORM REIMAGINED

A playful shredder you can pedal.

ACTIVE SUSPENSION

Our balanced platform and reduced unsprung
mass enable a responsive, active ride that eats up bumps.

RESPONSIVE HANDLING

Low, centralised mass means the bike is agile and
easy to redirect in the corners.

INTEGRATED TRANSMISION

Integrated into the frame, the gearbox delivers
precise, consistent shifting in a durable package.

SILENT DRIVE

A single, highly tensioned drive means less noise,
cheaper servicing and better reliability

ACTIVE SUSPENSION
a balanced unsprung ratio enables active suspention.

Better distributing mass improves performance meaning better:

  • Impact absorption and stability.
  • Ground tracking and grip.
  • Manoeuvrability.
IMPACT ABSORPTION AND STABILITY
a rapid SUSPENSION RESPONse REDUCes FEEDBACK.

By reducing the unsprung mass, the swing-arm can more easily move as it is not weighed down by gear components.

GROUND TRACKING AND GRIP
ACTIVE SUSPENSION MEANS GROUND CONTACT is MAINTAINED.

Rough terrain requires rapid redirects to stay in contact with the ground.
If a wheel carries too much momentum it is slower to respond and instead skips over bumps.

RESPONSEIVE HANDLING
CENTRALISED WEIGHT MEANS THE BIKE CAN QUICKLY REDIRECT.

This also affects jumping, making it easier to move when airbourne.

INTEGRATED TRANSMISSION

CONSISTENT SHIFTING AT THE TOUCH OF A BUTTON.

Pinion's gearbox brings reliable performance in a durable package. Unlike a derailleur, you can shift without pedalling and with the electronic Smart Shift system, all it takes is a touch of a button to instantly change gear even underload.

Protected components
A TOUGH METAL HOUSING PROTECTS PRECISELY ENGINEERED COMPONENTS.

With fewer exposed parts, the external footprint is reduced so there is less chance of impacting obstacles.

silent drive
A single, robust, highly tensioned drive.

A carbon belt doesn't require lubrication and wont skip or drop.
Gates’s CDX belt has improved debris hedding and can last 4x as long as a chain.

I sure as hell felt like I was full of indestructible teenage courage & angst. With traction for days & tank-like stability, you can go wherever you want when you're riding the Taniwha. The bike has a stability to it, or maybe a calmness is a better way to put it, that makes a rider feel like they're more skilled & brave.

Being a crap mechanic and a bit short on time due to work commitments, I know I can rely on my Taniwha to just keep going and going.

I'm now riding stuff that I never thought I would ride. The whole back end stability has made me realise that because the bike is so capable, then so am I!
