Enviolo N380 with continuously variable transmission
The Performance MN380 is equipped with a Enviolo N380
hub. The N380 is a maintance free, continuously variable
transmission hub that shift stepless from the lowest to the
highest gear. This enables you to find the ideal cadence
under all circumstances (70 rotations of the crank per
minute is best for the system performance). TheEnviolo
N380 hub is known for it's impressive gear ratio of 380%
(0,5 underdrive and 1,9 overdrive).
Controlling it is easily done by turning the gripshifter at
the grip on the rightside. You can always shift, even while
standing still. However, if the bike is in motion during
shifting it will feel a bit easier, and you can shift between
the entire gear range only if the wheels are turning. In the
display of the grip shifter you can see the current gear ratio.
The N380 has a surprising display with a small cyclist that
seems to move either over a hill (low gear) or move over a
flat surface (high gear).
Shimano gearhubs
The Shimano Alfine is an internally geared hub which are
virtually maintenance free. With the Shimano Alfine hub
it's possible to shift while standing still, for example in front
of a traffic light

The Shimano Alfine gearhub is supplied with a Rapidfire
system. Adjust the gears by pushing the levers with your
thumb and index finger. See image on next page.
