Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the
NuVinci
Continuously Variable Planetary
(CVP) and
CruiseController.
The
NuVinci
CVP is a revolutionary bicycle drivetrain that
will deliver the quietest, smoothest ride ever; completely eliminating the jerkiness
of missed shifts, dropped gears and gear lash. A simple twist of the
CruiseController
seamlessly adjusts the gear ratio to easily adapt to the terrain and your personal
riding style. Thank you for joining the
NuVinci
Smooth Revolution… relax and
enjoy the ride!
This manual contains important information about the installation and use

The illustrations in this document show a Model N171B but apply to Model
170S as well. While there are some internal differences, the visible differences
are in the hub shell and the 170S weighs slightly more. A data sheet for the
N170S is available at www.fallbrooktech.com.
•
The
NuVinci
CVP (Models N170S and N171B) was designed for normal use as
a rear wheel hub in most bicycle applications by riders of all proficiency levels.
The hub is not approved for any application in which input torque to the hub
exceeds 130Nm (96 lb-ft) or extreme applications, such as freeride or downhill
use, where excessive forces can be expected to cause damage to rear wheel
components like the rims, spokes or the hub.
•
The
NuVinci
CVP is designed for use in both horizontal and vertical dropouts.
It is only permitted to use the
NuVinci
drivetrain in vertical dropouts if
assembled with our specifically designed parts. A Vertical Dropout Kit
(PN: N171B-VDO-001) is available from Fallbrook Technologies.

Installation and repairs must be made by a qualified bicycle specialist.

This manual assumes a level of knowledge and skill consistent with that of an
