This new model from BikeBauer is a full-fledged enduro bike with a gear box and a belt drive system. Belt tensioning is handled with a pulley system very similar to the Nicolai, tucked safely out of harm’s way.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find this exact model on BikeBauer’s website. It looks similar to their ION 20 Effigear design, but on their site, that model is pictured with a dual crown fork. The model I spotted was spec’ed with a Cane Creek DB Inline rear shock, Hope wheels, and an SR Suntour Durolux fork.

As with many other brands, BikeBauer offers several more gearbox mountain bikes, including the Helius AC Pinion, ION 18, and the Nucleon EVO (a very interesting DH bike gearbox design).
