Zini Sport 2025

2025 Zini Z29 Sport at Cycle Zone — 29er hardtail efficiency with trail-ready control

The 2025 Zini Z29 Sport is a fast, confidence-building 29er hardtail for riders who want smooth speed on district roads and stable handling on singletrack. Its hydro-formed 6061 aluminium frame (Gen2) uses a tapered head tube, internal routing and dropper-post compatibility to keep things quiet, clean and future-proof. A lock-out fork adds on-the-fly efficiency, so you can cruise the flats then firm things up for climbs.

Braking and shifting are sorted: Shimano MT200 hydraulic discs provide predictable stopping in all weather, while a wide-range 1×9 Shimano Alivio drivetrain (11–46T) keeps your cadence smooth from steep pitches to fast returns. Double-wall rims with sealed-bearing hubs and Kenda Honey Badger 2.2" tyres round out a durable, low-maintenance build that’s ideal for South African trails.

If you’re after a capable, low-fuss aluminium mountain bike for fitness rides, weekend loops and light marathon duty, the Z29 Sport delivers value, reliability and the upgrade path to keep pace as your riding grows. Find expert sizing and setup at Cycle Zone.
