Giant 2W Gravity Enduro

26/03/2026

We’re stoked to announce that, thanks to the support of our naming sponsor Giant Bicycles New Zealand, we’ve got a $4,000 voucher to award to one of our incredible volunteers from Nationals weekend!

We’re incredibly excited to award it to Shenayde Nicolai, who gave up her entire weekend to volunteer at Nationals and was an absolute dream to work with. Your dedication and positive energy didn’t go unnoticed - thank you!

A huge shoutout as well to all of our amazing volunteers. Without you, the weekend simply wouldn’t have been possible. We appreciate every single one of you 🙌

Introducing our commissaires for last weekend’s MTB National Championships in Rotorua (Cross Country, Short Track and Enduro)!

A huge thank you to this incredible team:
Lisa, Bernadette, Chris and Mark!

Our commissaires are all volunteers who give up a significant amount of time to support the sport we all love - we couldn’t do it without them.

A special shoutout to Lisa, our Chief Commissaire (P*P) for last weekend, and the first female P*P at the MTB National Championships!
