The 600 from Priority Bicycles | Pinion Gearbox Powered Commuter Bike

Level 1 expert

The Priority 600 is an ‘All Road’ commuter bike that features the Pinion C1.12 gearbox, a transmission designed by former Porsche engineers. That means you get a bicycle that has a miniature automotive manual transmission. That comes with some perks – aside from the coolness factor – like a 600% gear range.
