The Cure for Gearophobia.

The fear of gears has limited the growth of the bicycle industry for years. Now there's a solution. The revolutionary NuVinci® Smooth Cruise CVP™. The biggest advance in bike drivetrain technology in fifty years. Built around spheres, not gears.

The NuVinci Continuously Variable Planetary drive is just what everyone is looking for—a smooth, simpler, more comfortable ride. It shifts with ease without noise or hesitation. And those who are intimidated by conventional shifting need never suffer a missed gear or dropped chain again. The NuVinci CVP is ideal for customers of all ages and all experience levels. And that means everyone benefits – manufacturers, dealers, and customers alike.

The Smooth Revolution has begun.

The NuVinci CVP delivers a totally unique riding experience. You'll never miss a gear again because there are no gears to miss. Instead, the NuVinci CVP uses a set of rotating spheres to transfer torque from the pedals to the road. Tilting the spheres changes their contact diameters, permitting an infinite progression of speed ratios.

The result is that you are always pedaling at just the right speed. You can adjust ratios continuously as the terrain changes. Whether you're in motion or standing still. You're always in total control. In a way no other bike can match.

The NuVinci CVP means the end of complicated, noisy internal hubs, hard-to-maintain derailleur systems, dropped chains, missed gears, and jolts to your knees and lower back. It's the future of the bicycle industry. And it will expand the market today and tomorrow.
