Mejor suspensión, más agarre

Para nosotros, la reducción significativa de la masa no suspendida es la razón principal para diseñar nuestras bicicletas exclusivamente con caja de cambios. Una masa no suspendida baja garantiza un rendimiento de suspensión claramente superior al de cualquier bicicleta de montaña con desviador trasero. Disfruta de un agarre sobresaliente y pasa más rápido por curvas y rock gardens.

Disfruta solo del sonido de tus neumáticos

Una caja de cambios con correa elimina los ruidos que generan las cadenas y los desviadores, ya que no hay una cadena golpeando y rebotando contra el cuadro. El único golpe que escucharás será el de tus manos al chocar con las de tus amigos al final de otro épico descenso.

Sin necesidad de aceite, mantenimiento regular ni ajustes

No hay duda de que la mayor parte del mantenimiento de tu bici se concentra en la transmisión. Sin ajustes ni cuidados de cambio, no tendrás que preocuparte de si tu bici cambiará bien cuando la saques para tu próxima ruta. Sin desviador = sin preocupaciones. ¿Acabas de volver de una salida embarrada? Simplemente lava la bici con agua, olvídate del lubricante de cadena y disfruta tú de una buena ducha.

Choose those tighter more technical lines

There’s nothing worse than being in the backcountry, or even on a local trail - your drive train lets you down and you either stuck on the side fixing it, wasting precious time, or you’re committing to a long walk out. The Pinion gearbox removes the derailleur which is most likely to break in a crash or bail. The bulk of the drivetrain is contained inside the gearbox and is protected from impacts. The clean set up of our bikes gives you the peace of mind that it’s all going to work, even on those technical trails that are littered with big rocks or in the occasional crash.

Through mud, dust and whatever the world throws at you

The Pinion gearbox offers up to 600% gear range. Can you imagine a 10-60 cassette? And this is all on the inside of a small gearbox, so it has no exposure to the elements and shifts seamlessly every time. Run of the mill derailleur and cassette systems shift poorly when things get muddy, wet and mucky. Unlike a derailleur, you can literally bathe your gearbox in mud and it will still function the same.

Ever wondered how often you would shift if you could while coasting?

Unlike derailleur systems, where the chain needs to clunk it’s way up and down a cassette one painful sprocket at a time to reach the new gear you want to select, the Pinion gearbox will engage the new gear as quickly as you can move your hand on the shifter. You can also shift without pedaling, giving you the freedom to instantaneously drop as many gears as you would like—through corners, while transitioning from a fast descent into a steep climb, or even while in the air. The electronic SmartShift version also adds the possibility to shift under load like no other system does.

Save time and money replacing parts

There’s nothing that sucks the cash out of your wallet and the hours you could be riding, like having to replace drive train parts. Because the Pinion Gearbox is internal and super durable, it means your drive train components won’t need to be replaced regularly as they do with derailleur systems. The gearbox itself can be expected to reliably cover many tens of thousands of miles with only periodic oil changes. Effectively your Pinion gearbox drive train wears IN the more you ride.

Thanks to the single speed hub, a symmetrical spoke angle with symmetrical spoke tension ensures a very strong and light rear wheel that further improves suspension performance.

Since the belt on the Zerode drivetrain never leaves the single front & rear sprockets, it stays exactly where it should be, even during the rowdiest descents.
