What is the Rotor System and how does it work?

Rotor is an innovative pedaling system that eliminates the dead point. 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. The dead point limits the cyclist's performance, causes tendonitis and injuries to the knee, as well as discontinuity in the traction. 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 180�, 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 synchronized by means of an exocentric axle 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 optimizes the effort of the cyclist and reduces the risk of injury, providing a notable increase in performance and more comfortable and healthy pedaling.

"Rotor Cranks work, plain and simple.
They work very well, and I am faster than ever before."
- Read Gary Tingley's review at TimeTrial.org

"I would probably say they are worth around 1.5 - 2 minutes an hour...."
