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.

The NuVinci Experience ... A real world discussion of the smooth cruising NuVinci CVP

What are people saying about hubs with NuVinci  technology?

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!”

How durable is the NuVinci CVP hub?

The NuVinci CVP hub has a two-year limited warranty. For information on Fallbrook's durability testing, click here.

Is there any required maintenance?

Unlike derailleurs, only periodic light cleaning (depending on usage conditions) is recommended.

From bench and road testing by potential consumers and industry experts, the NuVinci CVP compares favorably with the internally geared hubs on the market today and has the same or better ratio range. The nominal ratio range of the N360 Model is 360%. In a double front sprocket installation, the range is significantly larger. A gear inch chart is available on the Bicycle Technical Data page.

.Weights will vary between model and application.  The latest N360 model weighs approximately 2450 grams.. While the weight of the NuVinci rear hub may be greater than that of a rear derailleur drivetrain, multiple chain rings, a cassette and dual shifters are not required.

Fallbrook is dedicated to developing affordable, advanced technology. The Suggested Retail Price (SRP) for a NuVinci N360 kit, including drivetrain and controller available from bicycle dealers is $399.
