Honda was forced to invent their new system due to the vast array of patents on automatic transmission technology held by BorgWarner and others.

[3] Reviewer complaints focused on ergonomics, especially potentially uncomfortable seating on long rides, and the lack of wind protection at high speed, meaning the rider is fatigued pulling on the ...
A cone CVT varies the drive ratio by moving a wheel or belt along the axis of one or more conical rollers. The simplest type of cone CVT, the single-cone version, uses a wheel that moves along the slope of the cone, creating variation between the narrow and wide diameters of the cone. Some cone CVT designs use two rollers.

Tilting the balls changes their contact diameters and varies the speed ratio. [5] [6] As a result, the NuVinci CVT system offers seamless and continuous transition to any ratio within its range. The gear ratio is ...
