I’m a little over 1200 miles on mine. I love this bike and I don’t regret my purchase at all. Here’s the issues I’ve run into. The headset will likely come from the factory bone dry. Mine had rusted by the time I got to it. Just apply grease when you build it. Also make sure you have carbon paste when you build. Priority doesn’t include a packet. The wheels do not appear to be serviceable per my LBS. If you ride muddy gravel, expect to replace them. My front hub became gritty at around 1K. I purchased an Onyx single speed wheel set and love them. I’ve had to retighten the Pinion cranks a couple of times already and reapply carbon paste. The manual states torque to 10nm but mine don’t seem to stay put at that torque. You will need a 4-5 inch 4mm hex bit for your torque wrench to properly reach the drive side.
Got mine on day 1. Doing my first charge now after 550 miles with lots of climbing here in Denver, CO. Love this bike and how it is completely silent. I switched to smaller tires for more road focused riding.
Got mine in the first round they shipped. I rode mine on the C&O/GAP back in Late August, it was an awsome experience. On the near 400 mile 5 day ride it used almost 30 percent battery. I am new to bile packing and still refining my system. I have also done some single track and several rides with buddies on MTB trails. All in all, got just under 1k on it since I bought it and 2 century rides on it. I am absolutely in love with this maintenance free fun machine!
Wow. This brings back memories for me. When I was a kid in middle school, I think it was 6th grade, I got my first big boy bike. It was a 10-speed with drop handles. My father and I put it together in his garage (parents were divorced), and it was from Sears if I remember correctly. I had so much fun on it, with the gearing and getting to ride it all over, including riding in some races with it around downtown Dallas (TX) in the early 80s. Lots of good memories, and makes me excited about considering my next bike to be another drop tube bike. You're right, that you have so many varieties of hand positions on the drop tubes that gives you a chance to get out of a certain seating position and change it up to find relief on the long rides. It's not as much of a need for the electronic shifting, but the pinion gearing and gates belt drive is the winner. And having a simple drivetrain with nothing but the pinion cleans up the bike, keeps all the gears close to the crank. Looks nice!
Watched this while setting my Gemini up for this weekend's 209 miler. It's an absolute beast of an ultra-distance bike and the smooooothest bike I've ever had. Thanks for the shout out! 😍
Man, you scared the bejeebus out of me with this. I was like NOOOOO, don't go electronic shifting... Ahhh, they still have the non-electronic version. Thank you :)
@@christopherjacquez8605 I have yet to become a fan and I don't think I will anytime soon. I've had issues with both SRAM & Shimano on road bikes and miserable experience on a Cyclocross bike. Bumpy terrain, horrible weather...yeah give me that mechanical setup :)
The gearboxes need some force to shift which is why they use gripshift instead of an indexed shifter. In the dropbar it's even more pronounced, hence they use electric shifting. You can still get Apollo but miss some features though.
SO excited to say that I just bought the titanium Gemini! I was able to take advantage of the black Friday sale, which saved me $1,200, and I'll have it by January! If this is something that you are considering buying (regardless of the model) now is the time. I highly doubt you'll see savings like this again until maybe next November. This is a bike that I expect to last me forever, and based off of the research I've done, I see no reason why it won't. I can hardly wait for the adventures to come on this amazing machine! Thanks for the review, Ryan! Proud to be in the Priority family now!
@@printerror I'm thrilled! And I've paid close attention to your reviews and feedback as well. That input played a big role in my pulling the trigger this last week. I was holding out to see if there would be a sale for the holidays, and was floored at that savings. I just couldn't say no at that point, and I've had zero buyer's remorse. I'm super interest in the redshift components too. The stem is for sure something I'll be picking up, then eventually may switch out the bars for the kitchen sink ones too. I'm just truly thrilled!
I am not sure if I have been getting notifications, and I was wondering what was going on. Just yesterday, I meant to go to your channel and see if I was missing anything. I am glad to see you are well and doing well.
I like the Di2 lectric shifting on my roadbike, its not what I would call a deal breaker having it, but it is cool. It goes right around 800 miles before it needs a battery charge, that's a fair amount of flat group rides, with some good climbs also. If you can charge your phone, you can charge a battery in a bike. I go back to my gravel bike or mt bike with normal shifting and its no big deal, I know how to work on them and keep them right. I wanna try a Priority though! I like the simplicity and lack of anything to fool with on the bike,
That pricing is a pretty good price indeed! I still love my Pinion gravelbike with Shift:R shifting form Tout Terrain, because mechanical is just easier to maintain on long trips...but one of the real benefits of the Pinion Smart System is offcourse that you can shift under load.
Always great videos Ryan .. priority are making some fantastic bikepacking bikes .. unfortunately shipping makes it too expensive for me in New Zealand.. I can still dream !!! Keep doing it duzer.. awesome content
This my dream bike, but I live overseas (Japan) and the thought of trying to ship it when I decide to leave is daunting. They have the black Friday sale going on too and would pull the trigger if I didn't have that stress. Have the priority 600x and love it. Love your videos btw.
Perfect timing. I’m currently looking exactly for a bike like this for the gravel rides here. Currently I just show up to my local gravel rides on my still almost loaded (with bags but not gear) bikepacking mtb. 😂 I’ll keep an eye out for priority for Black Friday or other deals.
@@duzer Of course I love the cruiser too. I used to ride a sweet used cruiser I picked up online around my ol town Eugene on the bike paths there for art walks, trips to the library, with my ol dog Bella by my side. It had a basket on the handlebars, pedaled backward to stop, and oh the wide handlebars! It felt so amazing! If space weren't an issue, I'd love to rock a Colorado themed cruiser in honor of my home state.
Glad to see you review this model! I just pulled the trigger on one, and waiting for it to arrive. One question is do you use fenders or mud guards? Judging from your videos, my guess is no... LOL. Do you have any suggestions on locks/chains or fenders/mudguards for this model? Thank you! :)
Verrryyyy cool bike!! Had the opportunity to steal Connor’s Gemini on RAGBRAI LI this year, definitely on my list for my 2nd Priority bike. Think it’ll complement my 600x very well. 😁
In my opinion this was really the biggest "miss" of this bike. USB-C charging would have made this the absolute perfect bike. But everything is a compromise, and I still feel that this bike is one of the best Gravel touring bikes money can buy.
Great video. Do you know whether any thought has been given to adding a solar rechargeable component to have virtually limitless range on the pinion gearbox?
Hi Ryan I really like this bike! The 275lb weight limit is a concern. Is it low due to the sliding dropout for gate belt installation weakening the frame to a degree?
Love your videos Ryan. Really want this bike but torn on the size. I’m 6’ with a 33” inseam. I don’t want to be stretched out on the reach. Priority said a Large could work. Any thoughts/advice? Expensive purchase to get wrong.
Hmmm, seems to me that large would work. I’m 5’11 and 31.5 inch inseam…I ride large and it fits great. Sorry I don’t have a better answer, maybe try one of the FB pages and ask if anyone is near your size.
The small movement of the shifters makes it so much easier to fit a handlebar bag. I'm so frustrated with the huge movement required by my Shimano 105 shifters
Awesome video as always!!! Do you know if Priority is still going to make a stripped down ADX? I think that it would likely be one of their biggest sellers. Thanks again 👍
Why do they use hours to estimate the battery usage would it not be better to say how many gear changes a battery is capable of and maybe you could even add a counter ?
Ryan, would you compare the Apollo with the Gemini. Except for electronic shifting how do the two compare, not just one uses a Shimano Alfine rear internal rear hub vs the Pinion. Best one for gravel, for touring, etc?
There's a section on the product pages comparing the two, but essentially the Gemini has a more relaxed riding position and higher quality components. I've known people who have ridden the Apollo across the USA, but going up mountains can be tough (depending on your fitness and how much stuff you have on your bike).
@ I already own the Apollo (since October 2021), based on your videos and Brently’s videos, but was wondering if the Gemini and Apollo were in the same category or if for different target uses. If the same target, I’ll probably stick with the Apollo and look at a Priority MTB OR E-Bike.
@ if you already owned a Priority Apollo would you buy a Gemini or are they too close alike? If they are sort of for the same type of riding terrain and purpose, since I already have the Apollo I wouldn’t purchase the Gemini and keep both.
The handle assembly is loose. Obviously the hoods attaching to the bars are torqued to spec so it’s the handles that move. Like I said, I contacted the company and they said it might need new bushings.
I've reached out to Priority with no response. 600% range info is useless if the final drive ratios aren't published. What is the lowest gear ratio? What is the top gear ratio.
The stock gearing is 39/32T, which offers gear inches from 18.5 to 112”. Changing to a 34t rear and a 118t belt will lower the gearing to 17.5” in lowest gear and 105.5” in highest gear. Changing to a 28t rear and a 113t belt will raise the gearing to 21.1" in lowest gear and 118" in the highest gear.
You are f'ing Ryan Van Duzer! How did they not give you a titanium bike? Come on Priority, what's up with this? Electric shifting looks cool. I'd only forget to charge it, so I'll stick with mechanical since my fingers never require recharging.
For me, electronic shifting takes away the freedom from riding a bike whenever I want. I always have to think about "is my bike charged?" :D But apart of that it is a good looking bike.
I ride mine with zero battery anxiety and just set a reminder to charge it on the first of every month. I've yet to get it below 85% battery. You don't have to worry about it.
I did the C&O/GAP over 5 days, and I am a person who is really cadence picky, so I am constantly shifting. I used a little under 30 percent in right at 400 miles. This bike last a long time on battery.
The stock gearing is 39/32T, which offers gear inches from 18.5 to 112”. Changing to a 34t rear and a 118t belt will lower the gearing to 17.5” in lowest gear and 105.5” in highest gear. Changing to a 28t rear and a 113t belt will raise the gearing to 21.1" in lowest gear and 118" in the highest gear.
Great review!!! That shifting looks super smooth. I can't imagine not running into a charge opportunity inside of 100hrs of ridingbut just out of curiosity.... can it be recharged off a battery bank?.....and in normal situations how long does it take to charge? Thanks for the video!!!!
@@duzer yeah, I'm guessing the battery bank probably won't do it...just curious. One hr is nothing considering how much use you get out of just one charge. 👍
Priority gravel bikes urgently need internal cable routing. These external cables just look ugly and get in the way if you want to attach a handlebar bag. Otherwise I think the bike is really good. But unfortunately not available to buy in Germany. Priority must come to Europe.
The charger plug is crap. It should have at least an adapter to USB-C, then you could charge this thing anywhere in the world from a phone charger, power bank, or even your phone if you need to. Battery life depends not only on the number of shifts but also on the outside temperature so it will die earlier during the winter.
What do you think? Will all bikes have electronic shifting someday?
I just made the switch to electronic shifting. I don’t think I’ll ever go back. So smooth!
I hope all bikes won’t have electronic shifting. Worrying about batteries enrages me.
Mechanical switching has the advantage that if you are traveling in the middle of nowhere, the battery cannot run out.
No

That's a great idea, I'd love that!
I wonder if Surly are going to bring out a comparable bike since they have just started using the Pinion gearbox themselves.

I think so too! Pinion on a gravel bike is so awesome
Pueblo, Colorado - to - Crestone, Colorado Particularly through Medano pass?
Looks great, but why not make the charger a usb-c port? Makes so much more sense especially to recharge on the go.
Good question and I don’t know the answer. Maybe the pinion website has info
WTF on the charger port? That's so sad in 2024
In my opinion this was really the biggest "miss" of this bike. USB-C charging would have made this the absolute perfect bike.
But everything is a compromise, and I still feel that this bike is one of the best Gravel touring bikes money can buy.

Yep, same as regular Pinion

I don't ride drop bars due to carpal tunnel issues....do they have this bike in a flat bar version?
They don’t, but I think a flat bar Priority is being developed
@duzer is there any weight saving with the titanium frame? The bike looks fantastic! Very tempting.
it's about a pound lighter and the ride is a little bit smoother
Why do they use hours to estimate the battery usage would it not be better to say how many gear changes a battery is capable of and maybe you could even add a counter ?
I'm sure that they did a focus group or something and decided that 100 hours is easier for people to understand than 9,467 shifts ;)
Great review! Have you ever ridden or traveled with Priority’s folding bike?
I haven't yet, but I'll hopefully try it soon and get back with you!
Check your headset. We purchased two and both were bone dry from the factory.
Ryan, would you compare the Apollo with the Gemini. Except for electronic shifting how do the two compare, not just one uses a Shimano Alfine rear internal rear hub vs the Pinion. Best one for gravel, for touring, etc?

Heated bars, heated seat?
For sure! And there's a shield that deploys on windy days ;)
I have one. The TRP levers rattle too much for my liking. I’ve contacted them and they don’t have a solution yet…
Where do they rattle? I've been riding mine almost exclusively on rough gravel and haven't heard a peep.

About 3 years ago I messaged Priority asking if they were going to make a bike like this. Now, here it is and I can't afford it.
There’s some pretty massive discounts this week on all Pinion bikes. Check their website

Battery life depends not only on the number of shifts but also on the outside temperature so it will die earlier during the winter.
FWIW it's been functioning just fine.
Seat looks not so comfy that said awesome bike
Does anybody leave the stock saddles on a new bike these days? I pulled mine off same-day.
Way out of my price range 😭
