GUIDE

GEARBOX ENDURO BIKE

Welcome to the future. Take the lead with the best suspension platform on the planet.

Built with big mountains in mind the GUIDE effortlessly tackles the hardest terrain.

A gearbox drive supplied by Pinion ensures bombproof reliability in a maintenance free package ensuring the GUIDE spends more time on the trail than in the workshop.

A huge gear range gets you to the top of the biggest mountains and the High Pivot Point suspension keeps the back wheel glued to the ground providing unparalleled stability and confidence on the most technical of descents.

The Guide is now sold out and will not be available again.

Gearbox design

A Pinion 12 Speed Gearbox removes the rear derailleur providing bombproof shifting performance.
A huge 600% range allows you to spin up the steepest climbs or crank down the fastest descents.
Never be caught in the wrong gear again with instant engagement without the need to pedal.
Far better suspension performance due to reducing the un-sprung mass and optimising the suspension characteristics for an absolute chain line.

HIGH PIVOT suspension PERFORMANCE

A high pivot point creates a rearward axle path. This means the rear wheel can move away from impacts maintaining forward momentum and improving traction.
Zero chain growth results in no pedal kickback which means less fatigue on descents.
Anti-squat is a constant 110% anti-squat in any gear which results in a slight suspension extension under pedal input to increase grip on difficult climbs.
The suspension system does not have to overcome chain tension and is far more sensitive.

High Pivot Point
The Guide utilises a high pivot point which achieves a rearward axle path. This increases the compliance of the rear wheel as it can move away from impacts and square edged hits are absorbed more directly through the suspension maintaining forward momentum and improving traction. The rearward axle path allows the wheelbase of the bike to be maintained as the suspension is compressed achieving consistent handling.

Zero Pedal Kickback
The design results in zero chain growth and therefore no pedal kickback. This allows continued and unimpeded pedalling through rough terrain. It also results in less fatigue on descents as legs do not have to absorb this pedal kickback.

Anti-Squat Optimised
As the gearbox based design maintains a constant chain line and chain length we can optimise the anti-squat characteristics across all gears. The system achieves approximately 110% anti-squat which results in a slight suspension extension under pedal input to increase grip on difficult climbs.

Low Un-sprung Mass
Using a gearbox shifts the drivetrain weight from the rear wheel to the centre of the bike, this reduces the un-sprung mass which results in a more responsive suspension system.

Efficient Suspension
Unlike a derailleur (and particularly, a clutch rear mech) based system, the suspension does not have to overcome chain tension.
