Overview of components

Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. To sum up, when buying a bicycle, make sure you get a fork that is capable of delivering decent travel.
Rear Shock
Zerode Taniwha Mulét Performance bike has the FOX FLOAT X2 Factory model installed, and has a travel of 160mm. Rear shocks give you increased comfort, control, and traction, which is important when cornering or braking. This allows you to ride faster on bumpy roads. To sum up, get a full-suspension bike if you want the smoothest rides.
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the Taniwha Mulét Performance bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the bike itself.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Taniwha Mulét Performance comes with Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Sizes
There are 3 sizes available for this model. Rider height can be anywhere between 158 cm – 187 cm (5.18 ft – 6.14 ft). In conclusion, you won’t have a problem finding one that suits you.
Dropper post
Zerode Taniwha Mulét Performance comes with a dropper post. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
