TDS has already gained good experience with Pinion transmissions in the everyday bike sector, and now the Kreuzlingen-based bike designers are rolling off-road with the Pinion drive. The 12 and 18-speed Pinion gearboxes are available on an aluminum hardtail, the frame is Gates belt-compatible and thus ensures a modern, tidy look. The frame is available in three sizes, the small frame has 27.5 inch wheels, while the medium and large frame sizes have 29er wheels. Delivery of the new Pinion hardtail will begin in January 2016.

TDS has brand new rolling stock for those who want some support for off-road travel. New for the 2016 model year, TDS Rad is building a hardtail with the top Bosch motor, the Performance CX Line. This provides 75 Nm of motor support for plenty of pressure on the pedals. There is also a so-called size split for the three frame sizes Small, Medium and Large: size S rolls on 27.5-inch wheels, while the bikes in sizes Medium and Large are fitted with 29-inch wheels. To ensure that the rider and the bike don't run out of breath while rodeoing off-road, TDS has installed the new, high-range 500 Wh battery on the Bosch hardtail. TDS will be supplying the first examples of the new E-MTB line to specialist retailers from February 2016.
