However, every now and then, we had to make compromises:

Assembling a Pinion bike and forgoing the handling of familiar brake/shifter levers? Or using a chainring and doing without the Pinion?

We didn’t like this either/or question. We wanted both. So, our designers and developers sat down together, and what came out was the ..."

How it works

The Pinion gearbox, located at the bottom bracket, uses an enclosed transmission system renowned for reliability. However, it traditionally relies on a twist shifter. The Hibox changes the game by replacing the twist shifter with a compact housing that integrates with drop bar or trigger shifters.
