    For gravity oriented riding (downhill and enduro in particular) this could indeed be the future. But for disciplines that involves climbing and speed over flat ground it won't stand a chance due to the lesser efficiency. For regular trail riding that most of us normal people do (i.e non-competitive), this could also be an interesting novelty for many -- depending on the price. For e-mtb's I can imagine that this could get very popular. Nice video, and what a magnificent looking bike! It looks like a mix between a top fuel drag racer and a piece of industrial machinery. Love it!

      I read somewhere that like-for-like, gearboxes do have more drag but as soon as you add some gunge and grime to a chain/cassette system then gearboxes equal or better with respect to efficiency. That aside, the massive advantages for 99% of us are near-zero maintenance and fewer dangly bits to get snapped off 😊. Though I fear that the Shimano/SRAM juggernaut may quash any hopes of this becoming mainstream.

      On the other hand, the low maintenance could make it a one-bike for trail and commute.
      As someone who has ridden a Pinion Gearbox bike (P1.18 touring bike though, sadly not my bike) I can also tell you that the spacing and the amount of gears makes up a lot for the lower efficiency, That said, I agree this will be popular for eMTB's as for normal MTBs I can see this bridge a gap between a touring bikes and MTBs.

    Thank you for the video! I would summarize geraboxes as following “get out, have fun, enjoy the silence, no worries!”. I’m a convinced believer in gearboxes. I own a pinion tournig bike and waiting for my new nicolai saturn GPI to be delivered. Once you try a pinion gearbox you’ll never go back to a conventional drivetrain (unless you are a pro rider). The weight penalty is completely overcome by the reliable/smooth/maintenance free rides that you’ll experience. Not to mention the possibility to shift while not pedalling (which I didn’t think to appreciate that much until getting used to it and then use again a derailleur for a test bike). Moreover. Once you get home from muddy rides you can just jet wash everything without caring about degreasing and re-greasing the drivetrain. Plus pinion has an incredibly active and capable customer service. 5 stars for me (non competitive italian tourer and MTB lover)

    I’m most excited for the pinion gearbox to make its way to more mainstream eMTBs. If the auto shifting is reliable and the electronics don’t fail the I can see it being on future eMTBs in 3-5 years. That is of course if the price point isn’t insane.

      > I love technology in bicycles. But I also love simplicity in bicycles because a simpler machine is easier to maintain and work on.
      Sure. But at some point you also have to ask yourself - when's the last time you had to replace anything in a car's gearbox? You're looking at oil changes every 50,000 to 100,000 miles, so somewhere around 10,000 to 20,000 hours of operation. If you use it 10 hours a day, that's once every 1,000 to 2,000 days or every 3 to 6 years.
      That's not the case for Pinion's gearboxes though. Their MGU states you should change your oil every 10,000 km. If you average 25 km/h, that's every 400 hours of riding. They also claim it's a 10 minute procedure to do an oil change.
      So - in 10,000 km of riding with derailleur and chain, how often do you need to do maintenance on those? Like cleaning everything, oiling the chain, replacing the chain, replacing the cassette, replacing the idlers, replacing the front sprocket(s)? It's fairly likely you'll go through at least one chain and one cassette in 10,000 km. Especially because most people aren't fastidiously cleaning their bikes after every ride. And they'll end up with dirty drive trains that will eat through their chains and cassettes faster than that.
      That's a lot of time spent on maintenance vs a 10 minute oil change. Especially since internal gearboxes allows you to go from chain to belt, which requires less maintenance than chains as well.

    The bike industry cracks me up. When I got into mountain biking over thirty years ago I showed my grandad my first bike. He had been an engineer for British aerospace and rolls Royce. The first thing he said to me was that it should be internally geared and have a belt drive for lower maintenance and reliability. Obviously that went straight over my head being a little kid.

      @@Tom-hl7wcthis is not exactly true. In biking you have to balance many competing factors and find compromises. Sure we could have had gearbox bikes 20 years ago, but no one wants to pedal around a 60lb bike with a ton of resistance in the drivetrain, that can’t shift under load, requires a grip shifter and is only available in top level spec pricing. Oh, and forget interchangeability and brand options as the frames must be designed around one specific brand/model of gearbox. No choosing between SRAM, Shimano, TRP, Box, Microshift, etc. You get one choice of brand and spec level per frame.
      I say this as a big gearbox fan, I think in uses like this DH bike it’s superior to derailleurs and they finally solved the grip shift problem, but when you consider all the compromises it because not as good as a derailleur/cassette setup. Who knows, maybe in another 30 years they can solve some of the other issues and make it viable in trail and XC bikes, but it isn’t there right now.

      ​@@andynelson1977Exactly. Deliberately removing your chain before your run is illegal, Gwin took to the start gate with an intact (but ultimately damaged) chain therefore his run was technically a legal "mechanically affected" run. Alternative drive mechanisms weren't approved for DH (and still aren't in any other UCI sanctioned discipline) as a chain driven system "preserves the aesthetic" of the sport. Something that the UCI went crazy on when road, track and TT bikes had crazy carbon monocoque frame designs that were both extremely fast and prohibitively expensive for smaller teams. It's a rule designed to keep the sport accessible, but gearbox belt drive systems, like the Pinion/Gates are available on affordable utility biked because they offer reduced maintenance requirements and are pretty robust. It makes a compelling case to allow them to develop a DH drivetrain outside of the original rule.

      The weight is perfectly placed where you need it, while shaving weight off the unwanted places (rear end). Even for AM Bikes, the overall weight isn't that much of a step back when you place it at an smart place (bottom bracket) when one could save a couple of gramms at an unwanted place. A pedalfriendly geometry helps you more than a 1000 g lighter bike.
      DH bikes mostly are too light, so worldcup teams are slapping lead on the bottom bracket to make it heavier at the low center
      Besides, the future AM Bike does have a motor anyway, so the weight is at the right place allready.

    Umm, where did it finish in the DH WC? Wouldn’t say it’s maintenance free as it’s electronic and we all know how that can have a wobble!😏 gear boxes aren’t a cutting edge design so why hasn’t all the manufacturers jumped on board?🤔 could be because the after market wearable drivetrain sales would take a nose dive!

    It's weird hearing the push for quiet bikes, but I suppose there's lots of places where making sure elk/cougar/grizzlies hear you and hopefully leave before you run into them isn't a consideration

    For me personaly I would not take a gearbox bike even if they gave it to me for free because of this reasons:
    - Banging rd realy doesn't happen that much.
    - unsprung mass can be achieved with a lighter tire and rim too
    - cable can be changed in 1min
    - shift under load
    - all the crank options
    - all the chainring options
    - al the spider and o'chain options
    - all the bb options
    - changing the chain every 2000k and put some lube after bikewash is a amount of maintanance that I can handle.
    - total weightof the bike
    - impossible to solve serious gearbox issues by myself
    - more ugly cables on the cockpit or electronic that needs to be charged and updated
    change my mind...

    The big thing missing from this bike that I think will take over is a pivoting seat. No tube/sliding mechanics. The seat would just pivot at the front at the front of the frame. Much lighter and could drop much lower out of the way.

    If you enthusiastically consider this the future, where have you been when Zerode G3 was officially announced on *March* and did exactly that? Where is your support to a small company that is pioneering the use of gearboxes in MTBs since the 00's, to the advantage of the whole community?
    So GMBN, tell me one reason to continue watching you, since you are becoming an advertising platform instead of a bike information and news one?...

    Looks like yet another expensive toy available only to those with an excess of expendable income and/or pro riders with sponsorships. What kinds of safeguards are onboard if the battery dies and the electronic gearbox no longer shifts? Is it still ridable? What do the maintenance and repair processes look like? What's the cost over it's lifespan? What is it's projected lifespan?
    I liken this bike to what a pro rally car is to it's road legal counterpart - it's a great bit of engineering built to purpose, but it wont be your daily driver.
