Road Bike – The Latest Technological Advances In The Road Bike
When getting ready to choose your next bike you may find there are a variety of choices awaiting you that you are not so familiar with. Unless you have been following the world of bicycles you may be unaware of the new technologies that have surfaced in recent years that will make your new road bike worlds apart from your old one. The new road bikes combine superior performance with low maintenance to offer you the best combination in road bike technology.
Strides in recent years have provided advances such as the world’s first internally geared road bike. Developed by Dynamic, the Synergy offers a Shimano internal gear that offers not only a faster and easier shifting but also allows for a fully enclosed set of gears that are more efficient, less subject to wear, tear and damage and offer the type of performance that a road bike needs to be competitive. The gearing in this design is independent of pedaling, so unlike tradition bicycles you can switch gears at anytime even when you are at a complete stop, offering flexibility and the smoothest gear change available.
With the internal gear hub comes a single shifter placed on one side of the bike, this shifter allows for shifting at anytime regardless of what you are doing, and offers you the ability to shift quicker easier and more efficiently. The biggest added benefit to this completely enclosed system is that you no longer need to have your road bike tuned up before every ride; the internal gears eliminate the need for adjustments or maintenance.
The next advancement in road bike technology comes with the addition of the chainless drive. A Shaft drive is connected to the internal gears offering you the ultimate innovative and advanced technology that offers you all the performance you need along with a smooth ride you never thought you could get out of a traditional road bike. No longer will you need to worry about your chain breaking or falling off, nor will you have to be concerned with grease on your clothes or getting your pants caught in the chain.
The shaft drive uses a double set of spiral bevel gears and a shaft rod to transfer the power to the rear wheel from the cranks. Sealed in an aluminum alloy casing the shaft drive much like the internal gears is sealed from the weather requires little or no maintenance and will not rust or break like a chain will. With an increase in efficiency over the traditional chain driven bike, the shaft driven road bike has quickly become the bike of choice for cyclists worldwide.
This advance in technology offers many benefits and few drawbacks with internal geared, shaft driven bikes weighing far less than their counterparts and having significantly fewer breakdowns. Maintenance is minimal and wear and tear on the gears and other drive components is a fraction of what it is for the externally driven road bike.
