What is the efficiency of a transmission system?
The efficiency of a gearbox system (transmission system) is essentially the relationship between the amount of energy one exerts to move the gears vs. the amount of energy that is actually being converted into forward movement. A new and properly setup derailleur drivetrain has an efficiency of about %98; however, contamination by elements, etc. causes that number to drastically fall to between %80 and %95. We can therefore summarize that there is an immediate correlation between the efficiency of a drivetrain and the surrounding elements, which most of the time we can not change or positively impact (riding on a rainy day; under dusty conditions, etc.). Constant and continued exposure to these elements further reduces the overall efficiency dramatically. Therefore much of the energy is transformed into heat or friction and not into forward movement. G-Boxx has an efficiency factor of between %96 and %98. Due to all gear changing components being permanently sealed and encapsulated fro
