Avinox MG Concept E-CVT Transmission
In a significant stride towards innovation, Canyon showcased a prototype featuring the Avinox MG Concept E-CVT transmission system. This system integrates the motor and gearbox into a unified unit, eliminating the need for traditional derailleurs and cassettes. The MG Concept offers smooth, uninterrupted power delivery with shift times under 0.1 seconds, enabling gear changes during high-torque pedaling and even while stationary. Riders can customize gear shifts, opting for manual or automatic modes based on cadence or speed. The design emphasizes minimal maintenance, with the internal derailleur unit requiring no upkeep throughout its lifespan. This integrated approach not only reduces mechanical complexity but also enhances the bike’s overall aesthetic appeal. (prnewswire.com)
