SMART.SHIFT –
Ci-LINE GEARBOXES
Pinion Smart.Shift gearboxes differ from the P and C line gearboxes in their internal structure. The shifting mechanisms and sensor technology are the main differences. Smart.Shift gearboxes are based on the C-line and are marked with an „i“. (C1.12i, C1.9i, C1.6i).
SHIFTER E-TRIGGER TE1
The ergonomic TE1 shift lever was specially developed for electric shifting with Pinion Smart.Shift technology. The rubberised button surfaces provide ideal contact points for the thumb and the haptic button tuning ensures precise shifting. Button assignment is fully customizable.
SMART.SHIFT BOX
The Smart.Shift Box controls the electric shifting in the Smart.Shift gearbox. Here, the signal from shifter is received and translated into a shift movement in the gearbox.
CONNECTIVITY AND APP
The Smart.Shift system with its own battery has a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface and can thus be connected to the new Pinion Smart.Shift app. This allows the shifting behavior and shift button assignment to be customized. Functions such as Start.Select and Pre.Select can be optionally activated and set in the app. Information on charge status, software updates and a service tool are available at a glance. Dealers and OEMs also use the app to configure and calibrate Pinion Smart.Shift gearboxes.
SMART.SHIFT BATTERY PACK
Thanks to the Smart.Shift battery pack, electric shifting is thereby also possible for Pinion MTBs, trekking bikes and, with the new TRP HYWIRE brake levers, also for Pinion gravel bikes. The battery pack provides well over 20,000 shifting operations, which corresponds to about 100 pure operating hours. The battery is waterproof according to IPX7 and can be mounted by the OEM either inside the frame or outside. In under 3 hours, the battery is fully charged via a dedicated cable interface.

NEXT LEVEL
DRIVETRAIN
INTEGRATION
Pinion Smart.Shift combines the reliable and nearly maintenance-free Pinion Gearbox technology with up to 12 gears and the advantages of an electric shifting system. Shifting is done at the push of a button – fast, ergonomic, and intuitive. The system shifts while riding, at a standstill, and better than ever before!
Equipped on an e-bike with a carbon belt drive and a rear hub motor with direct power transmission to the rear wheel, this unique combination offers an efficient, nearly maintenance-free riding experience.
State-of-the-Art
Light E-Bikes
The new state-of-the-art light e-bikes weigh less than 15 kg. They are equipped with the Mahle X20 250 W hub motor, an integrated 250 Wh battery with up to 100 km range, and our central Pinion Gearbox technology.
PINION SMART.SHIFT FOR
SPEED-PEDELECS UP TO 45 KM/H
“We are shifting into the future! The Stromer ST7 and ST5 with the electric Pinion Smart.Shift technology takes shifting performance to the next level. In close cooperation with Stromer, we succeeded in realising a complete system integration including power supply from the e-bike battery, as well as indication of the Smart.Shift settings and gear information in the e-bike display via CAN bus.”
Friedemann Böhmler, Project Lead Smart.Shift, Pinion GmbH
PINION SMART.SHIFT IS NOT ONLY RESERVED FOR E-BIKES.
Pinion offers a Smart.Shift version with its own battery in addition to the power supply via the e-bike system from Q4 2023. Thanks to the Smart.Shift battery pack, electric shifting is thereby also possible for Pinion MTBs, trekking bikes and, with the new TRP HYWIRE brake levers, also for Pinion gravel bikes. The target of the development was to be able to be self-sufficient for a very long time on the road even with an electric gearbox.
Exclusively at Eurobike 2023, titanium bike maker Pilot will introduced the Scram Pinion Smart.Shift gravel model, which features all-new TRP HYWIRE electric brake shifting units.
The Swiss professional team Gamux Racing has been relying on the advantages of gearbox technology in professional cycling for 2 years and is developing its own downhill bikes around the central gearbox for the DH World Cup. At the start of the 2023 racing season, Gamux starts with electric shifting and puts the gearshift to the ultimate endurance test. The TE1 Trigger shifter and the new semi automatic shift modes turned out as a real game changer. The development of serial MTBs from other manufacturers for the 2024 season are in full progress.
