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 E-DRIVE SYSTEM WINS THE GOLD AWARD
This year’s Eurobike Gold Award in the “Components” category goes to Pinion! The new E-Drive system with the Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU) was named the winner at the official awards ceremony at the Eurobike trade show on Wednesday evening (June 21, 2023).
PINION LAUNCHES REVOLUTIONARY NEW E-DRIVE SYSTEM
WORLD’S FIRST. MOTOR AND GEARBOX. FINALLY UNITED. At the Eurobike Pinion recently presented the new E-Drive system. The drivetrain is the heart of an e-bike. Until now, this has consisted of two separate systems – a gearshift and a motor, which usually come from different manufacturers and yet somehow have to work together. The consequences are bad shifting performance, high wear, followed by high maintenance with enormous costs. The Pinion Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU) is here to change that.
