Leonardo, meet NuVinci

On their booth in Hall A6, Hercules showcased their new Leonardo bicycle. A black beauty, with everything on it, including the shiny new black NuVinci hub. It is incredible bike and what is most amazing is the incredible value for money it provides: fully spec bike: lights, fenders, luggage rack, super saddle plus the NuVinci hub, for € 899! Next to the bike they also showed the new NuVinci video on a big screen. Often a crowd was found watching the video and turning the shifter at the same time. In the Zeppelin hall, they had a Leonardo bike to test for people interested. ATC is just very happy to welcome Hercules as a new partner in Germany.

NuVinci in Germany

I am very proud to announce that the NuVinci hub will be available on one of the oldest bike brands around. As of the next model year, the NuVinci hub will be found on the Raleigh Carlton bicycle in Germany. In fact we were their 10 days ago for their dealer show. Raleigh in Germany is part of Derby-Cycle, one of the biggest bicycle manufactures and marketeers in Europe. They are impressive. First of all their dealer days are huge. It is a seriously big event. In a way you could say that after Eurobike and IFMA it must be the third largest bicycle event in Germany. The organization, the food, the hospitality is second to none. We had two Raleigh NuVinci bikes on the test stand and one of the show stand.

In an excellent AD supplement, full of information about cycling, tours and routes there was the annual AD test and NuVinci scored high once again. Allow me a crude translation of the bits which talk about the Ouverture bicycle and specifically the NuVinci hub. The test was conducted by a panel of cyclist who tested ten bikes during a full day.

NuVinci CVT in a car

If it is good enough for a bicycle it should work in a car, that is the premise of the NuVinci CVT technology. As I mentioned in the About NuVinci page, what makes the NuVinci technology so special is that it is so scalable.

Here you see a Chinese SUV which the ATC and Fallbrook engineers fitted with a prototype of the NuVinci CVT. The video he was taken recently in front of the ATC NuVinci factory in Oklahoma City. (more after the bump).
