Thanks to the efforts of Cycle Monkey, a US distributor known for their love of internal gearing, the Taniwha is set to have a much larger presence in the States. We had the privilege of saddling up for a test ride in nearby Santa Cruz. Despite some hellaciously muddy trail conditions in spots, this rad ride never skipped a beat. Stay tuned for our in-depth ride impressions in the coming months as we continue to test the bike in a wide variety of terrain.
