Our goal is to make bikes that last longer and are easier to live with and the Nicolai/Geometron G1 GPIadds its own advances in durability, long-term reliability, and minimal maintenance.
The integration of a PINION gearbox offers significant advantages over traditional derailleur-based systems. With an overall gear range of 600% and consistent 17.7% gear steps, the PINION C1.12i outperforms conventional 12-speed derailleur systems, which typically offer only 500–520% range. All moving components are sealed inside a robust, protective housing, shielding them from dirt, debris, and impact damage. The PINION C-line gearbox service interval is a whopping 10000Km. Say goodbye to bent derailleur hangers and constant adjustments, instead, enjoy precise, instant gear shifts, even under load or while stationary. Alongside these attributes the gearbox brings other performance improvements. A drivetrain unit integrated in the center of the mainframe means an optimised weight balance of the bike. The gearbox enables us to have a real impact on changing the sprung to unsprung mass ratio on a bicycle. The lighter the unsprung mass, the more reactive the suspension system and the easier it is for the rear wheel to follow the terrain. The unsprung mass consists of the components that aren’t supported by the suspension e.g. wheels, derailleur, chain and seat stays. We have been great proponents of increasing the sprung to unsprung weight ratio of our bikes, you only need to strap weights to the frame of your current bike or simply ride an Ebike to experience the effect a change in that ratio has to the ride and suspension feel.
