Gear Ratios
Innovative Design
Developed and hand-built in the UK, the GTRO was designed to be quickly installed to any bike frame, and work seamlessly with most rear hub motors. All 3 gears are sealed into the crank assembly, making the GTRO fully weather resistant.
Belt & Chain Compatible
Belt & Chain Compatible
Want chain-drive or belt-drive? You have the freedom to choose. The GTRO is compatible with any 5-arm 130mm BCD chain/beltring. Eliminate dropped chain, unlike a traditional derailleur gear systems there's zero lateral movement in the drive-train when shifting, creating a smooth seamless ride.
Seamless Shifting
Effortlessly shift instantly, both when in-motion or whilst stationary. Our patented shifting mechanism allows the GTRO to seamlessly shift between all 3 of its perfectly spaced gears with ease.
Engineered with simplicity
Combine multiple components of your traditional derailleur groupset into one compact unit. The GTRO replaces the below, all while weighing less.

Simple Installation
The GTRO is designed to be easily installed to almost any bicycle frame. In 5 simple steps, you can instantly upgrade your bike with 3 gears and unlimited riding capabilities.
Unlimited Possibilities
Designed and developed to fit almost any bike for any rider, the GTRO seamlessly integrates to any style of bike frame, from compact folders, to cargo workhorses, and everything in-between. You can easily retrofit the GTRO to your existing frame without any modifications or changes to your frame. See our case studies for more examples of the GTRO's flexibility.

See what sets us apart from the pack
GTRO internal gear ratios are fixed with a 79% overall increase. The gear size and cadence can be tuned by selecting a belt ring and sprocket for your intended rider experience. Choose from a light gear set for casual riding up to 25kph or a higher set for speed pedelecs.
1st gear is a neutral gear (1:1). Second and third gears are incremental.
Here is an example for a 24in wheel with a Gates Carbon belt drive system with a 46T Belt ring and 28T rear sprocket.

Shifting Cable
After GTRO installation, the shifting cable can be pulled internally through the frame using our cable pre-tensioner system, or externally using exterior cable management. Our cable can be routed along the down tube, seat tube, or even towards the rear wheel (depending on the position of the reaction lever).
Maintenance
The GTRO requires just 1ml of official gearbox maintenance oil for every 500 miles, no mess or disassembly required!
Compatibility
Frame Compatibility
The GTRO can be fitted to almost all frame geometry, this includes touring, city, folding, fat-bikes, E-bikes, cargo bikes, and everything in-between.
The reaction lever can be orientated to fit against your chainstay or any other locally fixed point.
Transmission
Compatible with any rear transmission (geared or single speed rear hub motor)
Works with chain-drive or belt-drive.
Will fit any standard 5-arm 130BCD beltring & chainring.
Bottom Bracket

What people are saying about the GTRO
"The gear system is easy to use. The extra ratios add to the efficiency, especially up steep slopes, meaning you don't need to use maximum assistance"
"With the improved performance and the neat addition of the gearbox, there are not many places that aren't conquerable with this great little bike"
"The gear unit is housed within the chainring body, and manages to get a planetary gear set up into a space only around 15mm deep; with the diameter the same size as a medium sized chainring. In short, a miraculous piece of engineering"
