ㆍConventional derailleur systems rely on externally exposed components, which inherently suffer from chain drop, contamination, frequent maintenance,
and reduced durability :
ATB-P fundamentally addresses these limitations by adopting a fully sealed gearbox architecture.
ㆍATB-P uses the same fixed-input 1×7 architecture as ATB-L :
The input gear between the pedal shaft and the main shaft is configured with a 54:30 ratio, increasing rotational speed while reducing the transmitted
torque.
ㆍThis input structure provides several practical advantages.
ㆍFaster gear engagement :
The increased rotational speed accelerates the engagement between the pawls and the internal gear teeth, significantly reducing pedal free-play and engagement delay.
ㆍImproved shifting durability :
By reducing the torque transmitted to the main shaft and shifting components, long-term durability is naturally improved.
ㆍThe key difference from the ATB-L version lies in the use of high-strength, heat-treated alloy gears :
Thanks to the fixed input structure, ATB-P achieves durability that exceeds even that of the ATB12, despite its simpler architecture
ㆍThis enhanced durability allows the gearbox to be designed with thinner gears, enabling a lighter overall structure without compromising strength.
ㆍDownhill bikes :
In downhill riding, the number of gears actually used is limited.
ATB-P can therefore be applied as a lightweight gearbox solution while still providing exceptional durability
ㆍE-cargo bikes :
With its high mechanical strength, ATB-P pairs exceptionally well with powerful hub motors, forming a robust and reliable drivetrain for cargo
applications.
ㆍThis input structure provides several practical advantages
ㆍUrban commuting :
Most urban riders do not require a wide gear range.
For users who seek higher durability or a more premium feel beyond ATB-L, ATB-P offers a lightweight and reliable alternative.
