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 Zini 26″ mountain Bike is built for young or smaller adult riders ready to conquer diverse trails with confidence and comfort. Featuring a lightweight alloy frame with a contoured headtube and modern handling-focused geometry, it’s designed for superior performance and rider confidence. The low standover height and air suspension fork with lockout provides comfort and control on uneven terrain, while internal cable routing add a sleek finish. Equipped with Shimano Altus 9-speed gears and a wide-range 11-42T cassette, this bike ensures smooth shifting and plenty of gears for both climbs and descents. Its high-performance components include a 165mm alloy Z-Tech crankset with a narrow-wide chainring for improved chain retention, tubeless-compatible double-wall alloy rims, and Kenda 26×3.35″ high-volume tires for grip and comfort. Thoughtful features like a dropper post-compatible frame, memory foam saddle, bottle cage mounts, and water-transfer decals under clear coat complete the package, offering unbeatable value and performance in its class.
Oh, and did we mention that this bike is a looker?

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.
