Cycling is enjoyable.  Except when shifting, that is! Always looking for the right ratio. Constant cadence interruptions with every change in the road or terrain. Missed gears. Jolts to your knees and lower back. How many times have you thought… there’s got to be a better way!

Now there is!  With the revolutionary NuVinci® Continuously Variable Planetary (CVP) drivetrain. The problems with conventional shifting are history!

Because the NuVinci CVP is a continuously variable transmission, shifting through its wide 360% ratio ratio range is as seamless and easy as adjusting the volume on a radio. Smooth. Quiet. Always in the right ratio. With the NuVinci CVP, it’s easy to maintain the perfect cadence. So it’s less tiring, easier on your body and more what bicycling was meant to be… enjoyable.

		Wide Ratio Range The NuVinci CVP provides an infinite number of ratios between its wide 360% range. Finding the perfect ratio for the situation is easy and spontaneous. Check the gear inch chart below to see how the NuVinci ratio range compares to conventional fixed-gear derailleur and internal hub drivetrains
		Continuously Variable Catches, gaps and power interruptions are a thing of the past. If you can adjust the volume on a radio you can continuously and seamlessly adjust the NuVinci drivetrain to maintain the perfect cadence throughout the ride.
		Enjoyable Cycling with NuVinci is what cycling was meant to be…enjoyable. With the help of this innovative continuously variable drivetrain, you’re always in control in a way no other bike can match. Smooth, enjoyable and perfect for riders of all ages and experience levels… that’s NuVinci!
