at the base of the bike Eveleigh signed Super Drive system solves one of the most important problems of mountain bikes. In normal transmission systems “Derailleur” The rear derailleur is located close to the ground. This situation does not cause any problems on the normal road, but when entering the terrain, the derailleur may bend or jam by filling with the soil removed from the ground. The derailleur, which is more likely to be hit because it looks down, can cause many troubles to the drivers over the chain, which can become dirty because it is also located below.
Super Drive system, on the other hand, hides the derailleur with the help of a special body structure and two different gears, and bends the chain in a different way and pulls it up significantly. In this way, the transfer infrastructure can be significantly protected. Despite this different structure, the infrastructure, which can offer better gear shifts than normal, also keeps the tension constant, unlike standard systems, according to the statement. This can make a significant difference in driving and lifespan.
