Pinion equipped Mountain Bikes Next level mountain biking

A central, low centre of gravity for excellent handling and unrivalled riding dynamics, minimal maintenance, and a superior, perfectly graduated gear range – mountain bikes with Pinion gearboxes are made tough for your next offroad adventure. Whether it’s a multi-day tour, a demanding enduro stage, or a World Cup downhill course, Pinion shifting is the definition of consistent and reliable performance.

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!

Shifting in
any situation

Pinion gearboxes shift at lightning speed. Shift through one or multiple gears, whether stationary or while riding! This is where the Pinion gearbox really shines. We use a rotary shifter for exceptional shifting control.

Less maintenance =
Lower costs + more ride time

A Pinion gearbox on your mountain bike means more time on the trail! The gearbox runs in an open bath and is self-lubricating, requiring only an oil change every 10,000 km. Gone are the days of constant drivetrain maintenance and high replacement part costs! Your calendar and your wallet will thank you.

THE EUROPEAN BIKE PROJECT

Bike parts made in Europe have always had a special appeal. British steel frames, lightweight carbon parts from Italy, German brakes – all these parts seem to be a safe bet when it comes to building a bike that will turn heads.
