Avinox Reveals its Motor Gearbox

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Based on Rob's video of his convo and short ride with Canyon it doesn't sound to me like the system is at the point of development it could be ridden to that extend or they'd give anyone that level of ride. These YT'ers will say anything for views these days so I trust most very little.... That said I almost always get a little over 2k m vert from my 800w and I'd expect anything new to be that or better. If an eCVT cut my current ride duration/elevation even 10-15% at a similar weight I'd for sure stick with a derailleur.

canyon are claiming 2k metres with it. Not me. In fact I didn’t mention that at all, I didn’t even ride a Canyon?

A few of the retro randonneuring companies have started making new friction shifters, and some of the influencers in that world have been extolling the virtues of how they make you more "in tune" with your bike and require less maintenance, so that debate is still going on (albeit in a very small scale niche part of the cycling world)!

Hey, some people prefer vinyl records to streaming music, each to their own I guess.

It’s what makes us humans.

Didn't say you mentioned that, I was replying to the previous comment saving some other YT'er said that.

Of course I did the old ass-u-me but after talking to Canyon then saying you have a ride on the new system without specifying which a person could almost think correctly it was that brands bike. I'll take that as a big old nope.

Rob wasn't talking with Canyon in the vid it was someone from Avinox. They were just using the Canyon frame as the prop.

My fault for watching a video at work and having to pretend not to.
