Pinion was founded in 2008 by two former Porsche engineers, Christoph Lermen and Michael Schmitz. Their vision was to build "a bicycle gearbox with the heart of a sports car". The fully sealed manual gearbox combines the best of automotive and bicycle technology. It offers unparalleled drivetrain performance and reliability. The drive technology is always centrally integrated in the bike, robust, low-maintenance, virtually wear-free - tested under the toughest conditions. Every drive is "made in Germany" - development, design, construction, series production, sales, service all take place in Denkendorf. As part of the BRP Group, Pinion stands shoulder to shoulder with globally active companies in the field of e-mobility and powersport products.
