1. THE NUVINCI® N360 SYSTEM

NuVinci N360 Shifter

Controlling the ratio of the N360 is simply a matter of rotating the shifter grip. The shifter display indicates ratio as a simple graphic; a hill for slower speeds and a at for faster speeds. Since there are no xed gears, the exact ratio is determined by your comfort level. Ratio changes can be made even while pedaling under high torque.

NuVinci N360 CVP

Ratio changes occur within the hub, smoothly and easily via internals that are sealed for life and maintenance-free. The hub is compatible with rim, disc, or roller brakes, and has an integrated high-quality freewheel that is serviceable.

The NuVinci N360 is the third generation continuously variable drivetrain from Fallbrook Technologies. The N360 is a light-weight and durable drivetrain that shifts smoothly and seamlessly across the full ratio range without steps or gaps.
