Built for Pinion®

The MONoPOLE No O1 was specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with the Pinion® gearbox. With its gears housed in a sealed magnesium unit, the Pinion® system is low-maintenance and highly durable, offering superior protection against dirt, moisture, and debris. By centrally positioning the gearbox, it also enhances balance and handling, boosting the overall stability of the bike.

We offer the No O1 frameset with a choice of either the 6-speed or 12-speed Pinion® C-Line gearbox. For those who prefer a traditional setup with a chain derailleur, a 73mm BSA adapter is available for mounting onto the gearbox interface.

«This is an e-bike with a battery integrated into the down tube and innovative belt steering. That said, this is probably a very low-maintenance system.»
