Pinion MGU is a special gearbox technology developed by the German company Pinion. MGU stands for "Modular Gear Unit" and refers to a series of gearboxes especially designed for bicycles. This technology is known for its reliability, low maintenance and high efficiency:
-
Reliability : Pinion gearboxes are known for their durability and reliability. They are housed in a closed housing, which protects them from dirt, water and other external influences.
-
Low maintenance : Since the gearbox is housed in a closed housing, it requires minimal maintenance. Only the gearbox oil needs to be changed at regular intervals.
-
Efficiency : Pinion gears offer high efficiency when pedaling because they enable direct power transmission and minimize friction losses.
-
Versatility : Pinion gearboxes are available in a range of gear ratios to suit a variety of uses, from city and touring bikes to mountain and travel bikes.
-
Shifting comfort : The gears allow smooth and precise shifting, even under load. This means that the rider can continue to pedal while shifting without taking the strain off the chain.
-
Modularity : The modularity of the system allows manufacturers to easily integrate the transmission unit into different bicycle frames, increasing design flexibility and adaptability.
In summary, the Pinion MGU is an advanced bicycle transmission technology designed for durability, efficiency and minimal maintenance.
