Pinion, the pioneer of innovative transmission technology in the bicycle sector, is marking another milestone in international racing. In addition to long-standing bike partners Zerode and Gamux in downhill racing, other renowned teams will be competing with newly developed gearbox bikes in the 2025 season. AON Racing, Continental Atherton Racing, Intense Factory Racing and MS Racing will be fighting for every second on the toughest tracks in the world with Pinion gearbox bikes.

Four international racing teams are relying on the advantages of the revolutionary Pinion transmission technology to take their downhill bikes to a new level of performance in the UCI World Cup. The Pinion gearbox provides the decisive advantages in downhill racing with precise shifting in every situation, optimum center of gravity positioning and maximum reduction of the unsprung mass of the rear triangle (whereby the rear wheel literally sticks to the ground!).
