overview

There was a time when 29ers did not exist. The world’s fastest mountain bikers competed and won on 26″ bikes. Many argue that this is still the most nimble platform.

 

The 2025 Z26 is the real-deal. It comes with internal cable routing as well as a Zini Air Suspension Fork with Mag Lowers & lockout. The 9 speed Shimano drivetrain doesn’t miss a beat and will ensure hours-worth of fun on the trails.


Oh, and did we mention that this bike is a looker?

Frame Technology
Hydro formed 6061 alloy

Zini bikes are manufactured from hydro-formed heat treated 6061 alloy. This makes the frame durable and lightweight.

Paint and decals

Our frames are finished with premium paint and decals under the clearcoat. This is more UV resistant and more scuff & scratch resistant than alternative options.

Internal routing

This Zini bike features internal cable routing and full length cable housings. This, more than just cleaning up the cockpit, also means less maintenance, and more protected cables and hoses.

Standard 27.2mm seat tube

Standard size, easy to find compatible seat tubes and seat clamps.

Replaceable dropouts

Bent a hanger? Not a problem, Zini derailleur hangers are easy to replace.
