When the Pinion gearbox launched in 2006, the German company took a massive risk by abandoning the typical derailleur/cassette-style drivetrain in favor of the same technology used in automobile transmissions. In our latest video, Neil shares how Pinion approached the gearbox and reviews the 12-speed and 9-speed C-line versions after bikepacking and trail riding with them for several months. Learn how the Pinion’s gearing compares to other drivetrains and much more here...
