The Mountain Drive is so simple it’s amazing, yet so well made it will last for ever. An epicyclic gear system is built into the crankset, and you shift by tapping a button on the end of the axle with your heel.
The Mountain Drive is made in Switzerland, beautifully machined to last a lifetime. Two versions are available: Mountain Drive: This has two ratios - 1:1 and a 2.5:1 downshift. Perfect for adding a complete new set of lower gear ratios. Speed Drive: This has ratios of 1:1 and an overdrive of 1:1.65. Good for recumbents where you need more speed, or folders with small wheels. High Speed Drive: A development of the Speed Drive, this has a direct 1:1 ratio and an overdrive of 1:2.5. The HSD has a 29-tooth sprocket only. Special versions of all systems are available for Bromptons, Birdys, and most other unusual bikes. Have a play with our gear calculation software to see how these drives will alter your gearing. Prices for all systems start at £275, and we can also manage the special bottom-bracket machining required to fit the systems. |
