The transmission drives a chain which drives a sprocket on the pivot axle. Then, another sprocket on the pivot axle drives the rear hub. The distance between the rear hub and pivot of a single pivot does not change so there is no chain stretch. Personally I think bikes like this are the future of MTB, I really hope that the idea of putting a derailer and cassette on the frame of the bike does not get patented. A high center single pivot with such a drive system gets rid of two of the main problems with high center single pivot (extreme chain growth and pedal bob) while maintaining the simplicity and good axle path of a high pivot bike. |

That is so awesome; I would love to have a gearbox bike especially one that will shift while not pedalling. Ironhorserider, watch the end of the video. They spin the back wheel and shift; the cranks are not moving. |

Pretty rad, but it would have been better if you muted the audio that was there or added music. |

Most of the money in bikes is low-end. Kids ride them from a-b. What's wrong with Mongoose aiming at both ends of the spectrum and producing high quality and low quality bikes? Not everyone needs a multi-thousand dollar slopestyle rig... |

People said that bicycle suspension was a silly and expensive fad years ago.
