Taniwha Performance components
Fork
The Taniwha Performance comes factory-installed with the Cane Creek HELM fork. This has a travel range of 160mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Rear Shock
As for the rear shock, this bike has the Cane Creek DB CS Air model, with a travel of 160mm. Bike rear shocks increase the riding comfort, and also give you more control over technical trails. In short, a full-suspension bike will give you the smoothest ride possible.
Wheels
The Taniwha Performance 2019 bike is equipped with 27.5″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. These wheels will provide you with more control over the bike. However, the overall traction of 27.5″ wheels is lower than 29″ wheels.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Taniwha 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.
Dropper post
The Zerode model is also equipped 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.
