With the Saturn 11 GPI, NICOLAI also offers models with PINION manual transmission and GATES Carbon Drive. The transmission is available in two versions: The P1.12 version has a total gear ratio of 600% and 12 gears. The P1.18 offers 18 gears at 636%. The Saturn 11 GPI combines the best features of the basic model with the technical advantages of the PINION gearbox and Carbon Drive: an indestructible, virtually maintenance-free drivetrain sealed within a robust housing, with a gear ratio range that far exceeds that of modern derailleur and hub gears. This system reduces unsprung mass at the rear wheel to allow even better rear suspension function and a durable Carbon Drive drive belt that requires no maintenance or lubrication.
