NuVinci 360 ?

The NuVinci 360 IGH has been available for about 6 months, has anyone used one? I'm thinking about installing an IGH on my bike and I can't find any user feed back on the 360.

I checked it out nothing about the 360 other than a general overview.

Based on my own research on the webz I have chosen to build my new commuter/29er gravel grinder/fat tire touring rig with the N360. For me the decision was based on a reputation for durability in offroad/high torque conditions.

If I were using the bike solely for commuting, the Alfine 11 would be a contender, if not my first choice. I've ridden Nexus and Alfine 8's for about 6 years now and love them, but they have a spotty record in off-road use, and the N360 was the clear choice (Rohloff was out of my budget).

Plus, I'm kinda curious about experiencing the CVT thing (no gear steps) for myself.

Sounds cool, let us know how it works out, I'd love to see a gravel/touring bike with one.

The N360 has been out about 15 months now. Here's one take on the hub:

I've had one on my bike since the spring...absolutely maintenance free and works flawlessly. A real pleasure. Does add the weight but anyone with a IGH bike already knows about that inescapable fact and depending on the mission of the bike can be an issue or not..for me it totally is no issue. It's not a performance component and doesnt try to sell itself as one, it is solid, durable, reliable. Ideal for commuting, touring and leisure.
