WIN Your Ultimate Bike Build in 2025 with Shimano New Zealand

Written By Kim Manunui

Shimano New Zealand is giving one lucky rider the chance to win the ultimate dream bike build — and all you have to do is ride. Enter any of the Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge’s road-specific events — Shimano Round the Lake, Great Lake 100, Length of the Lake, or Enduro — and you’ll be in the draw to take home a bike like no other.

What’s up for grabs?


 The winning rider will receive:
✅ A premium DURA-ACE groupset
✅ A hand-picked selection of PRO Bikegear components
✅ A top-end frame from your favourite brand
✅ A one-of-a-kind build tailored just for you

In early 2025, our previous winner Andre was handed the keys (well, pedals!) to his new bike in Nelson, with his family by his side. Now, we’re ready to do it all again — and next time, it could be you!

Terms & Conditions apply.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
