Rotor is an innovative pedaling system that eliminates the dead point that occurs at the top and bottom of every pedal stroke.

The dead point of conventional pedaling is the void that occurs when the pedals are vertically positioned (one at the top and the other at the bottom), which is a moment at which neither leg can transmit any power to the chain.

The dead point limits the cyclist's performance, causes tendonitis and injuries to the knee and causes discontinuity in the traction. The Rotor System provides the definitive solution to this inefficiency, which is typical of conventional pedaling, by definitively eliminating dead points.

Rotor makes the cranks independent in such a way that they are not aligned at a fixed 180º, but rather the angle between them varies during the cycle in such a way that one pedal never coincides with the one below, thus avoiding power vacuums. Such an effect is achieved by the use of independent cranks that are synchronised by means of an exocentric axel and two rods, which vary the development during the cycle and adapt to the muscle power of the legs at all times.

By eliminating the dead point, Rotor optimises the effort of the cyclist and reduces the risk of injury, providing a notable increase in performance and more comfortable and healthy pedaling.
