How does NuVinci® hub impact my riding experience? |
| |
The short answer: It is unlike anything
you have experienced before.
You’ll find yourself shifting without thought, whenever you feel like it -
while you’re pedaling, when you’re coasting (freewheeling), when you’re
pedaling backwards, even when you’re stopped. There’s no hesitation, no noise,
no waiting for the mechanism to “hunt” for the gear you’ve selected,
nothing to synchronize, nothing to guess at, a simple twist of your wrist and you’re
at a new ratio. Say goodbye to racking your shins and dropped chains due to derailleur
mis-shifting.
You’ll easily find your sweet-spot, adjust your cadence for max power, or up-shift at will
to work your legs a bit more. With the NuVinci hub, you’re easily in charge of your
riding experience.

Where can I obtain a bicycle with a NuVinci CVP? |
| |
See the NuVinci Gallery for Bicycle brands implementing NuVinci CVP Technology
|
| Can a NuVinci CVP be installed in an existing bicycle? |
Yes. Consumers may order / purchase a NuVinci CVP drivetrain and controller as a kit by itself or pre-laced in a replacement wheel from local bicycle retailers. Ask for NuVinci.
Hubs are available with either 32 or 36 spoke holes but only for a 135mm dropout. Normal installation is in a horizontal dropout. Installation in a vertical dropout requires an adapter and a chain tensioner. Fallbrook recommends that the current version of the NuVinci CVP be installed only in a comfort or cruiser bicycle although installation in other bicycle types may be possible. See the NuVinci Conversion Kit.
