F1® tech meets modern mobility
smart.shift
Found on the new Mercedes-AMG F1 Team Rallye Edition, the Pinion Smart.Shift electronic gearbox will change the way you think about your daily commute and off road biking.
Pinion Smart.Shift combines the reliable and almost maintenance-free gearbox shifting technology with the advantages of push-button electric shifting.
Shifting is done at the touch of a button – quickly, ergonomically, and intuitively. The system shifts while riding, while stationary, and while under load.
Modelled On Automotive Technology
In Pinion gearboxes, power is transmitted through only two sets of cogs. This results in consistently high efficiency, minimal noise and a direct, lossless feeling at the pedals.
The redundant gears and increased chain wear of other drivetrains simply do not apply to Pinion gearboxes.
You can shift through full range gears all at once, shift part-way, or one at a time – while stationary or while riding.
Shift Gears Faster Than the Blink Of An Eye
At the planetary gear, the rotary motion at the shift lever is transmitted directly to the camshaft in the gearbox.
This controls the pawls.
A rotation of the camshaft actuates the next shift pawl and engages a new gear.
Handmade In Germany
From the pawls to the camshaft to the housing.
Every part, no matter how small, is designed and produced by automotive industry manufacturers in Germany.
With the highest precision, experienced technicians piece together part after part, like clockwork.
Connectivity and App
The Smart.Shift system can be connected to the Pinion Smart.Shift app.
This allows the shifting behavior and shift button assignment to be customized. Functions such as Start.Select and
Pre.Select can be optionally activated and set in the app.
Information on charge status, software updates and a service tool are available at a glance.
