NuVinci CVP Hub

        Bike

“The NuVinci CVP delivers a totally unique riding experience. You’ll never miss a gear again because there are no gears to miss. Instead, the NuVinci CVP uses a set of rotating spheres to transfer torque from the pedals to the road. Tilting the spheres changes their contact diameters, permitting an infinite progression of speed ratios.

The result is that you are always pedaling at just the right speed. You can adjust ratios continuously as the terrain changes. Whether you’re in motion or standing still. You’re always in total control. In a way no other bike can match.

The NuVinci CVP means the end of complicated, noisy internal hubs, hard-to-maintain derailleur systems, dropped chains, missed gears, and jolts to your knees and lower back. It’s the future of the bicycle industry. And it will expand the market today and tomorrow.”

Was sich die Leute bei fallbrook da ausgedacht haben ist allerdings revolutionaer und zwar nicht nur fuer die Fahrradindustrie. Was im Bild zu sehen ist, stellt bereits die Weiterentwiklung dar: Das developer Kit regelt die Nabe automatisch, sodass der Fahrer immer in einer selbst waehlbaren Trittfrequenz strampelt; unabhaengig von der Beschleunigung.
