Central
Centre of gravity
A more central and lower centre of gravity along with lighter rear wheel reduces unsprung mass and improves handling, ride dynamics, and suspension performance.
Outstanding
Range
With 600 % range and evenly spaced gear steps, the Pinion C1.12 gearbox leaves derailleur drivetrains in its dust.
Lightning fast
shifting
In any situation – gear changes in just 0.5 seconds. The gearbox reacts to shift commands at lightning speed. The rotary shifter provides exceptional shifting control.
More traction, More fun
Quick line selection, railing corners, and increased stability in technical sections! The central positioning of the gearbox in the frame reduces the unsprung mass and increases rear-suspension sensitivity. This results in a responsive, lively ride feel and increased grip on every trail surface, no matter how rough.


Robust Shifting mechanism
The Pinion gearbox is integrated into the frame at the bottom bracket and is completely sealed from the elements. It is protected from dirt and performs in all weather conditions. When things get rowdy on the trail, there are no exposed shifting components that can break off when you push the envelope a little too far!
Less maintenance =
Lower costs + more ride time

E-MTB Camp in Kaltern/South Tyrol
From April 22 to 25, 2024, the E-MTB Camp took place in Kaltern/South Tyrol and offered the participants an unforgettable time in one of the most beautiful cycling paradises - the varied landscape around Kaltern and Tramin. Together with our partner Simplon, we took part for the first time. Around 40 participants had the exclusive opportunity to test the brand new Simplon Rapcon - equipped with the Pinion MGU - on the trails.
PINION SMART.SHIFT IN DOWNHILL WORLDCUP
Our Pinion Smart.Shift technology caused a sensation last year with the Stromer ST7. In the future, the electric shift control will also be seen in combination with other e-bikes in the E-Speed and E-Light categories, as well as for the first time as a version with its own power supply for normal Pinion bikes without motor assistance.
For the past two years, the Swiss professional team Gamux Racing has been relying on the advantages of our gearbox technology in professional cycling and is developing its own downhill bikes around the central gear shift.

Pinion in the press
In recent weeks, there has been increased coverage of Pinion in local newspapers, but also nationally.
Through the strategic participation of the Canadian group BRP (Bombardier Recreational Products Inc.), the course for further growth has been set - the future-oriented product strategy can be further advanced.
