This bike features a12-speed C1.12i Pinion gearbox at the bottom bracket, paired with a Gates Carbon belt drive and a powerful, torque-sensing 750W rear-hub motor. This combination places the Skyline a step or two above many similar models due to its noticeably high-tech, extremely low-maintenance, and seriously user-friendly nature. To put it simply, the Pinion makes the Skyline a dream machine.

Not only does it feature a powerful 750W rear-hub motor capable of accelerating up to 28 mph, it has dual batteries with a total of 720 watt-hours (Wh) of capacity. It's also decked out with a gigantic quad-LED headlight, a smartphone-sized color display, and it pairs with an included Bluetooth-enabled helmet that syncs with its onboard light system.

The brand has been pioneering belt-driven bikes for over a decade with great success, and it is taking its knowledge to the next level. Today, Priority dives headlong into full suspension bikes with the all-new Vanth. With 165mm of rear wheel travel, a Pinion C1.9i gearbox, and Gates Belt Drive, the Vanth is a serious contender for one of the most intriguing bikes of the year, and an exciting new endeavor for the brand.

For many singlespeeders, the option to add a multi-geared drivetrain is a nice option when you need it. But what happens when you want that multi-geared option to be a Pinion gearbox? Apparently, you just have to get Curtis Inglis to make you a wild trellis-like Pinion-to-SS adapter. Simple. OK, this adapter is anything but simple - but it's certainly a thing of beauty. Utilizing the mounting points of the Pinion gearbox, the adapter simply positions a bottom bracket shell where it would be if the frame wasn't built for a Pinion in the first place.
