drivetrain

next level riding

A low center of gravity gives the Kodiak excellent handling and unparalleled smooth riding dynamics. And the gearbox drivetrain also offers you minimal maintenance.

The unsprung mass of the rear wheel is radically less, as a derailleur and cassette are no longer needed, they are replaced by the gearbox in the center of the frame. This results in a responsive, lively ride feel and more grip on any trail surface, no matter how rough.

chain or belt

With a carbon belt you enjoy an extremely silent ride. You never need any grease and you are nearly maintenance-free.

On the other hand a chain is a bit more efficient, more direct and works better in extreme situations, like enduro races.

Should you ride chain or belt? Find out in this article.

next level riding

Experience the quick line selection, railing corners and increased stability in technical sections.

The central positioning of the gearbox in the frame reduces the unsprung mass and increases rear suspension sensitivity. This results in a responsive, lively ride feel and increased grip on every trail surface, giving your maximum confidence.

Pinion's magnesium gearbox is almost maintenance free and eliminates the risk of bending or breaking your derailleur.

chain drive

All our gearbox bikes come with a chain drive. We have done tests with belt drive, but most of our riders later made the conversion back to chain, as it feels more active, more efficient and works perfectly under all circumstances.

grip shifting

A Kodiak gearbox mtb can be run with either a Pinion DS2 grip shifter or with the Instinctiv trigger shifter. In both cases; shifting is fast, instant and precise.

trigger shifting

The Instinctiv Trigger Shifter offers an interaction that is resembling a derailleur shifter with the speed of a gearbox. The system has two stacked levers for thumb actuation. It allows you to shift one gear heavier, or one or two gears lighter with a single thumb stroke.

electronic shifting

We offer the Kodiak as well with Pinion's newest Smart.Shift system. This electronic shifting system works with a special gearbox, a trigger on the handlebar and a fully integrated battery in the Kodiak frame.

Pinion Smart.Shift gearboxes differ from the normal C-line gearboxes in their internal structure. The shifting mechanisms and sensor technology are the main differences.

The ergonomic TE1 shift lever was specially developed for electric shifting with Pinion Smart.Shift technology. The rubberised button surfaces provide ideal contact points for the thumb and the haptic button tuning ensures precise shifting.

600% range

With the gearbox mountain bike drivetrain you will have a huge 600% gear range, 20% more than an SRAM Eagle layout.

efficiency

How does a Pinion gearbox mountain bike compare to a conventional derailleur in terms of efficiency? The short answer is that out on the trail, in varied terrain and changing conditions, it is practically impossible to notice any difference.

A derailleur layout, under perfect ‘laboratory’ circumstances, has a bit higher efficiency. However when dirt comes into play and builds up the efficiency tends to drop a good few percent.

Another major benefit of gearbox mountain bikes is the straight, constant chainline, ensuring great efficiency between chainring and rear wheel.

less maintenance

A Pinion gearbox on your mountain bike means more time on the trails. The gearbox operates in an open bath and is self-lubricating, so you only need to change oil every 10.000 km. You have almost no drivetrain maintenance and high cost of replacement parts.

The Pinion gearbox is integrated into the frame at the bottom bracket and is completely sealed from the elements. It is protected from water and dirt and performs in all weather conditions. When the going gets rough on the trail, there are no visible shift components that can break off if you go a little too far.

weight

We believe you can do the math. Yes, a gearbox mountain bike weighs around 600 – 800 grams more than a bike with a conventional 1×12 derailleur group set.

However about 600 – 900 grams of weight is moved from the rear wheel to the frame. This makes the rear wheel lighter. The suspension is more responsive. And during a climb it is difficult to notice the extra weight.

durability

Pinion gearboxes are used all over the world, in all conditions no matter how challenging. They have proven their robustness in numerous round-the-world rides. Ice cold temperatures at the Arctic Circle or sweltering desert heat do not present a problem for these transmissions.

kinematics

progressive

The Kodiak 140 has a progressive suspension character. This way the suspension is supple and sensitive around sag, yet big hit capable. Plush with little risk of bottoming out. How progressive a bike is depends primarily on the regression of the leverage ratio.

We tested prototypes with various leverage curves and found the sweet spot: a leverage ratio that decreases by 15% throughout the bikes’ travel.

If you want the suspension to be even more progressive there is the option of adding extra volume spacers in the shock. This is something we tweak when we set up the bike for you, based on your weight and where you plan to ride.

efficient

Mountain bikes from major brands tend to be advertised with a single anti-squat percentage. What they don’t tell you is they can suffer from vastly different anti-squat values when shifting down the cassette. We have measured deviations up to 75%.

The Kodiak 140 has a anti-squat value of around 115% at sag across all gears thanks to our chainline not being affected by gear shifts.

So, why 115% anti-squat? In short this compensates for 100% of pedal bob induced by the pedal torque and another 15% to account for your body movement on the bike.

Anti-squat values come down throughout the bikes’ travel: from more than 120% down to less than 90%. This way our team crafted a very efficient yet lively suspension platform.

fully active

The Kodiak 140 benefits from very little pedal kickback. Especially at high speed, in heavier gears kickback is negligible.

This is a major benefit because it means the suspension remains fully active and sensitive during quick descends, even when pedaling.

We achieved this thanks to a combination of our integrated gearbox and compact kinematics with limited chain growth.

sensitive

Anti-rise levels are optimal at 90 to 100% throughout the bikes’ suspension travel.

This means that brake forces accurately compensate for any mass transfer during deceleration. Not only at sag-point but at any point throughout the bikes’ travel.

In effect this stops you and the bike from tilting excessively forward under hard braking. At the same time levels around 100% still allow the suspension to remain active and sensitive throughout your braking zone.

This way you won’t feel like you’re on a hardtail once you approach some brake bumps.

smooth

The Kodiak 140 is designed to offer a near vertical initial axle-path. A vertical or rearward axle path improves the suspension’s smoothness.

When the vectors from trail obstacles and the wheel path are more in line this results in the suspension being compressed rather than the bike being ‘held back’.

The favorable axle path is a result of the patented Puma kinematic platform and its very compact rocker layout.

lead time

Current lead time for a full bike is about 8 - 12 weeks to build and prepare for shipping after your payment came in. The estimated delivery dates are calculated to the best of our knowledge, but might change if we receive parts later than expected.

smart.shift

If you live outside of mainland Europe, we will need to send you the Smart.Shift battery separately. This is due to transport and insurance issues we face if the battery is assembled into the frame. As soon as you receive the bike, you can dismount the Pinion gearbox, connect and insert the battery in the frame and mount the Pinion back on. We will give you instructions and support.
