The Ride



With the NuVinci™ CVP, you’ll never miss a gear
because there are no gears to miss. Instead, a set of spheres rotate around a central point to transfer torque from the pedals to the road. Tilting the spheres changes their contact diameters, permitting an infinite progression of speed ratios within its range.
The result is that you’re always pedaling at just the right speed. You can adjust the ratios continuously as the terrain changes. In motion or standing still. It’s as easy as adjusting the volume on a radio. So forget complicated, noisy internal hubs, hard-to-maintain
derailleur systems, dropped chains, missed gears, and jolts to your knees and lower back. Just enjoy The Ride.

Funny enough, I was just talking about those noisy internal hubs, hard-to-maintain derailleur systems, dropped chains, and missed gears the other day.
Now if they could just do away with that damn pedaling action and that pesky steering.
Calgon, take me away.

i remember talking with tim westerberg many years ago about bikes of the future and i told him he was stupid for predicting just this event.
