It's been more than a decade since G1 and G2 have made their impact on the DH World Cup scene. Now, Zerode Bikes, is back on the world stage with the new one G3 : their new DH platform with belt drive and Pinion integrated gearbox. And they also immediately thought about the international team.

Zerode bikes made a significant impact on the DH scene in the early 2010s with the launch of the G1, which quickly earned a reputation for incredible performance (in the World Cup circus) thanks to low-positioned masses, gearing mounted centrally and at the top pin. With some of New Zealand's fastest riders, the bikes had proven they could compete at an international level. Despite the potential of the bike and the riders, the lack of economic resources did not allow me to launch it properly.

Zerode is going against the trend of the current market challenges: everyone is trying to control the balance sheets while the New Zealand company pushes hard. Together with the support of key partners Gates Carbon Drive , Pinion e Hayes , Zerode Racing is preparing great for 2024 thanks to the entry of 2 great athletes such as Sam Blenkinsop (NZ) and Taylor Vernon (United Kingdom).
