JONGERIUS TRAVL Pinion

Handmade from €5399,-

We are proud to announce that the Jongerius TravL Pinion has won the title: Bicycle of the Year 2023

The jury consists of experts and experienced professionals, including the editorial staff of Fiets, Fietsactief, ANWB Media, Tweewieler, NieuwsFiets.nu, and Bike Europe. The jury for the sports brands is supplemented by four experienced professionals.

The jury wrote the following about this bike:

Every detail has been carefully considered, and the bike's handling also reveals that it was carefully and lovingly crafted. Ready for many kilometers in the Netherlands and far beyond. The unisex bike's appearance also reveals that you're dealing with a truly special bike. Shifting is smooth thanks to the elegant combination of the Pinion gearbox and belt drive, and the frame construction also makes the latter easy to replace. A beautiful example of Dutch craftsmanship!

Ready for your trip around the world

The Jongerius TravL Pinion is a new model in the Jongerius collection. We designed this bike as the ultimate companion for your cycling holiday, but thanks to the low-maintenance Pinion gearbox and Gates belt drive, it's also suitable for weekend touring or your daily commute.

Upon first sighting the bike, the high-end Pinion gearbox, positioned in the center of the bike, immediately catches the eye. This German gear system was developed by two former employees of the transmission department of car manufacturer Porsche. They used the knowledge they gained designing gearboxes for sports cars to develop the most durable and maintenance-friendly gear system for bicycles. This advanced technology perfectly meets the high quality standards Jongerius sets for its components.

Easy switching even when stationary

Unlike derailleur gears, the Pinion allows for gear shifting even when not pedaling. Shifting is easy with the twist grip, which makes shifting very smooth.

The Pinion gearbox is also very easy to maintain. All moving parts are securely housed in the robust housing, preventing water and dirt from entering. The oil only needs to be changed every 10,000 km (or once a year).

It's no wonder the Pinion gearbox is often touted as perfect for touring bikes or luxury trekking bikes. The high-quality gears, axles, and bearings make the Pinion incredibly light to pedal. Because the gearbox is located in the middle of the bike, it also provides excellent weight distribution. The bike's center of gravity is nice and low, unlike gear hubs, where the center of gravity is higher and further back.

Choose the best disc brakes from Fahrwerker

Want the best disc brakes on your bike? Then choose the F2000 disc brakes from the German brand Fahrwerker.

At Fahrwerker they have chosen not to work with a 4-piston brake system but with a more maintenance-friendly, extra-large 2-piston brake caliper.

Thanks to the 2 brake pistons with a diameter of no less than 28 mm, the brake pistons have a larger surface area than brakes from other brands with a 4-piston brake system.

The 2 mm thick stainless steel Fahrwerker brake discs, which are available in 180 or 200 mm, have a braking surface of no less than 20 mm high.

Now also possible with electric switching

Jongerius bikes are now available with the new Pinion Smart Shift as an option. With the Pinion Smart Shift, you shift electrically, and we equip the bike with a small battery that provides the power.

The Pinion Smart shift C1.12i has 12 gears and a range of 600%, with the system starting in a starting gear of your choice.

The Pinion Smart Shift system is incredibly fast with the Pinion TE1 trigger push buttons. If desired, the system can also automatically downshift to a lower gear (your choice) so you can easily start riding again from a standstill.

The Pinion Smartshift can also automatically shift to a cadence selected by you via the Pinion Smartshift App. The Smartshift gearbox then shifts when you are not pedalling for a smooth shifting experience.

Choice of 12 or 18 gears

We deliver this bike with your choice of a Pinion C1.12 or a Pinion P1.18 gearbox. The Pinion C1.12 gearbox offers a range of 600% with 17.7% increments between the 12 gears, which is ideal for Dutch riding conditions.

If you're also planning to cycle in the mountains, we recommend the Pinion P1.18 gearbox with a 636% gear range and smaller gear increments of 11.5%. With the P1.18 version, you can also choose the gearbox color at no extra cost: black, silver, blue, or red.

As a rear hub, we have chosen the high-quality Hope Pro 5 hub with 142x12 mm thru axle, and you can also choose from 4 colours.

The ultimate holiday bike

Upon first seeing the bike, the unique frame immediately catches your eye. Because we developed this model entirely as a belt-drive bike, we decided to eliminate the vulnerable removable block for mounting the belt drive and raise the chainstays. Thanks to the higher chainstays (elevated chainstays), the belt drive now runs underneath the chainstays, significantly improving frame stability.

The 2.3 kg aluminum frame is smooth welded and features plenty of brazed-on mounting points, providing ample space for attaching racks, bottle cages, or bags.

Thanks to its numerous mounting points, this frame is also ideal for bikepacking. We deliberately chose to route all cables externally so that if a brake line or gear cable breaks during a long trip, you can easily replace it yourself. The frame is ISO-4210 tested, so you can be sure it will remain in top condition even under heavy loads.

By jongius fork

We developed the By Jongerius fork ourselves. It's made of aluminum, but features an extra-thick steel tapered steerer tube for added strength. The fork is equipped with mounting points for a Tubus Duo lowrider, but you can also choose to mount bottle cages, roof racks, or panniers on these mounting points.

The front fork is Boost for extra strength and features 15mm thru axles. Because the fork is tapered (1.5 inches), we can use larger headset bearings, which maintain their integrity even under heavy loads. The headset also features a 65-degree travel limiter, preventing the handlebars from tipping too far when carrying heavy luggage.

By jongius wheels

Strong wheels are essential for a bike designed for intensive use, so we've fitted this model with extra-strong By Jongerius wheels. These hand-spoked wheels with extra-wide 26mm (tubeless-ready) rims are suitable for a load of up to 200 kg (rider weight + bike weight + luggage weight).

These hand-spoked wheels have spoke holes drilled at precisely the right angle to the hub, so unlike the front rim, the rear rim minimizes spoke breakage. We also use special Alpina spoke nipples with locking compound to prevent the spokes from vibrating loose under extreme loads.

Unique to this model is the choice between 27.5-inch wheels with 62 mm tires or 28-inch wheels with 50 or 55 mm tires.

Son lighting

We've also opted for top-quality lighting. The hub dynamo is an extra-smooth-running Son hub dynamo that delivers full power even at low speeds. The Son hub dynamo is a Boost version with a 15mm thru-axle. You can choose from black, silver, blue, or red at no extra cost.

The headlight is the Son Edelux 2, which offers a light output of 100 lux and a choice of four colors. The attractive, compact rear light, available in your favorite color, is also from Son. The lights are equipped with high-quality Son coaxial cables, both front and rear.

You can choose from three mounting options for the headlight. We can mount the headlight to the stem, which gives it a rugged look, but doesn't allow for a handlebar bag. You can choose a standard stainless steel headlight bracket on the front fork, or the new extra-long By Jongerius stainless steel headlight bracket. This black powder-coated headlight bracket is extra strong and extra long, ensuring it shines clearly over your panniers. It also features a laser-etched Jongerius logo.

Other details

The Jongerius TravL Pinion is available with a men's frame up to 70 cm or with a sporty unisex mixed frame up to 65 cm.

Because every Jongerius Handmade Bicycle is unique, you can choose the frame color of this premium bike yourself. We've compiled a selection of 46 beautiful colors for you to choose from. Don't see your favorite color? We can also create your dream bike in one of our 210 RAL colors for a small additional charge.

We've chosen to fit thru axles to both the front and rear wheels so you can easily remove both wheels for transport or in the event of a puncture.

Thanks to the latest Magura MT5 brakes with dual caliper pistons and 180mm rotors, you'll always come to a safe stop. We've chosen to equip this bike with the ultra-reliable Gates CDX belt drive, so you'll need minimal maintenance during extreme use.

This bike comes standard with an extra-strong By Jongerius rear rack with Son lighting. This steel rack with stainless steel pannier racks is suitable for loads of up to 40 kilos. You can also equip this bike with Tubus logo lowriders on the front for an additional fee.
