Top 10 Reasons to Go Chainless

1. Smarter Gearing

Dynamic’ Chainless bikes use Shimano’s advanced and highly efficient internal gear hubs. These internal hubs compress all the external gear components into a compact hub. These hubs eliminate all the overlapping and redundant gears of chain-derailleur systems to give you the gear range you need, but in fewer steps. So shifting is simpler using just one shifter, and the gear indicator tells you what gear you are in - no more guessing.

2. Less Maintenance

Dynamic Bicycles feature the Sussex shaft drive, the gold standard in the industry for durability and performance. In addition, the Shimano hubs are sealed and lifetime lubricated and don't have a maintenance schedule. The fully enclosed shaft drive system keeps the gears and shaft drive protected from the elements as well as from damage (which virtually eliminates the tune-ups and repairs required by chain-derailleur bikes). The shaft drive only needs periodic lubrication using an grease gun to keep the gears running quiet and smooth. This takes less than 30 seconds.

3. Safe

With our chainless bikes, all moving parts are fully enclosed and won’t tear clothes or cause injuries. Unlike chain-driven bikes that have sharp teeth on the sprockets, as well as chains and derailleurs to get clothes caught on, shaft drives are worry-free.

4. Very Durable

The Shimano hubs are fully enclosed and sealed to dramatically reduce repairs or maintenance. The majority of our bikes use the Shimano premium gearing which uses forged and heated gears as well as roller bearings to take long term abuse. In addition, Dynamic’ bikes feature the Sussex shaft drive. This patented and proven shaft drive system is the industry's most trusted brand of shaft drive. With this system, all the components are fully enclosed and protected from rain, dirt, mud, salt air and road grime. So, unlike chains and derailleurs that are fully exposed, the rugged construction of the shaft drive and Shimano hub can withstand riding conditions and impacts that would cripple chain bikes.

5. Clean

Because the shaft drive and gears are fully enclosed, there is no grease to end up on your hands and clothes. This makes chainless bicycles more practical and convenient to ride with any type of clothing.

6. Always in the Right Gear

With our chainless bikes, shifting is independent of pedaling, which means that you can change gears at any time - while pedaling, coasting or even at a complete stop. This is much more foregiving than a chain bike, where you have to be pedaling to change gears, whereby you can often be stuck in the wrong gear. With our shaft drive bike, gears changes and adjustments to terrain and riding conditions are much faster, smoother and more consistent making you a better rider. In addition, our shifter provide a gear indicator that clearly displays what gear you are in at all times; no more looking down at your gears to see where the chain is.

7. Fast Gear Transitions

Our shaft drive bicycles provide a wide range of gearing to tackle a wide variety of terrain. But more importantly, the speed and smoothness of the shifting means fewer gear changes to keep you in an optimal gear on any terrain.

8. Easy to Transport

Because our chainless bicycles have no greasy chain, dangerously sharp sprockets or delicate derailleurs, they are far easier to load on and off vehicles for transport. No more greasy palms, greasy wrists, cuts, scrapes or soiled clothing just trying to load or unload your bicycle on your car, boat or RV.

9. Looks Great

With their sleek, modern design, shaft drives update and streamline the look of the bicycle. Yet beneath this attractive exterior is a reliable drive system that performs as great as it looks.

10. Smooth and Consistent

Dynamic Bicycles shaft drive bikes eliminate derailleur and chain noises for a smoother, quieter ride. Our bikes are also easy and super smooth to pedal and deliver more consistent results from each pedal turn. With a constant efficiency around 90%, our shaft drive bikes perform more consistently than chain and derailleur bikes that range in efficiency from 75% for poorly tuned systems up to 95% for perfectly tuned single speed setups.
