Bicycle FAQ’s Q: How does the NuVinci ® hub impact the riding experience? A: 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. Q: What are people saying about hubs with NuVinci technology? A: Reaction to the NuVinci CVP hub has been nothing short of phenomenal. Bicycle industry executives and consumers alike are quoted as saying: “Smooth”, “very smooth” “very smooth, unbelievable”, “silky” “It’s so easy to shift and maintain a perfect cadence.” “Takes the worry out of shifting” “I haven’t missed riding a bike until now" “It is the best transmission on a bicycle” “I have seen nothing like it” “[this] technology is a great fit….” “The ride quality is ready now!” “I want it now!” Q: How durable is the NuVinci CVP hub? A: The NuVinci CVP hub has a two-year limited warranty. Q: Is there any required maintenance? A: Unlike derailleurs, only periodic light cleaning (depending on usage conditions) is recommended. Q: What is the ratio range and efficiency of the NuVinci CVP hub? A: The ratio range of the N360 Model is 360%. As a traction drive transmission, the NuVinci CVP will be less mechanically efficient than direct drive transmissions. However, because the rider can always be in the “appropriate” gear with no gaps and no power losses during shifting, mechanical efficiency should not be the primary measure for the NuVinci CVP. In getting a non-expert rider from point A to point B, the NuVinci CVP compares well with internally geared hubs and derailleurs on the market today, while delivering a superior ride experience.
