2022 Sonder Signal Ti Pinion (Used)

Pretty much new, around 170 miles according to my Strava stats. Awesome handling bike, but I have other bikes and I am riding more XC these days and this is definitely a burlier more capable hardtail. Set up tubeless, swapped out the stock High Roller 2s for a DHF 2.5 and Aggressor 2.3. Has ESI grips, stock Ergons included. Liv Contact SL saddle. I also will include a Shimano Microspline driver if you want to use these wheels on another bike. I also specd it with 165mm cranks (the only correct mtb crank legth!)

The Signal is fast, it’s for flat out speed.

It pedals like an XC bike, descends like an enduro bike, and captures the rawness of riding a hardtail on fast, flowy singletrack. Stand up, sprint, and ride it hard on groomed descents at Llandegla and Glentress or take it to the big mountains and get loose.

That low BB and long wheelbase gives a planted and stable feel through the corners and on high speed descents, the low stack height leaves you with less of that ‘tall’ 29er feeling – you’ll feel like you’re in the bike, not on the bike.

Big wheels roll faster. The 29 in wheels can be paired with 2.2 to 2.6ins tyres with clearance for winter conditions.

The titanium Signal frame is stiff, light and durable. 3Al 2.5V Aeronautical grade titanium tubing softens trail buzz and provides the engaging and lively feel that only Titanium can.

Why Pinion?

The pinion version of the Signal puts all the moving parts of the gear system out of harm’s way and gives an almost silent, well-balanced ride.

It’s a low maintenance dream - you can cover 10,000km before you need to think about an oil change. The range of gears is just enormous (600%) and because of the way the gearbox works you can dump all of them in one go if you get caught out at the bottom of a brutal climb. It’s an amazing experience.

All the weight of the gears are low and central with a pinion gearbox so handling of the Signal Pinion is beautifully balanced and assured.
