Whether daily commuting to the office, weekend tours or transalp by mountain bike: with 600% overall ratio, the C1.12 gearbox beats modern derailleurs by far. 12 gears are 17.7% even and finely graded, thus offering the right gear for every situation and, thanks to the low centre of gravity, the typical Pinion riding dynamics.
Intuitive shifting. Careless technology. Compacte design.
Pinion touring bikes are among the best of thier kind.
Discover the gearbox revolution in mountain biking.
The Pinion gearbox calculator helps you to choose the ideal gearbox tuning. The internal gear ratio for each gear of all types of gearboxes is already defined in our calculator. The entire spectrum of a Pinion transmission can be shifted to fast or slow with the secondary ratio to the rear wheel. A 1:1 tuning is also possible by using sprockets of the same size or toothed belt pulleys.
The size ratio, or the ratio of the number of teeth between chainring and rear sprocket is called ratio. Together with the circumference of the wheel the unfolding can be calculated. The unfolding is the distance in meters or centimeters travelled by a bicycle with one crank rotation.

REAL GEARS
Real gears refer to the gear steps of a bicycle transmission that can be optimally used. In derailleur gears, the skewed running of the chain leads to significant losses of efficiency. In addition, when there are two or three front sprockets there will be redundant, i.e. equivalent, gears. A 3×10 derailleur transmission, for example, actually only offers 14 or 15 real gears from this perspective.
