      The Priority 600 series is noted for using a belt and Pinion gear drive. That’s probably the coolest part. I’ve wanted to try one out for years, almost bought a regular 600 for a commuter but couldn’t quite justify the price.

      There aren’t many adventure-specific (or bike packing specific) Pinion transmission / Belt drive bikes. So this one builds off of the success of the Priority 600 in a more adventure-friendly package.

      Also a collab with Ryan Van Duzer and his audience.

      It’ll be interesting to see how it does.

      Here’s to hoping we see some real inroads into mainstream cycling (I’m including commuting in that) for belt drives and transmissions.
