New from Budapest, the Stringbike. It’s intersting to say the least, with a healthy does of skepticism, however. But more power to those who continue to push the boundries of technology.

Very interesting. It appears to be legit and work. I wonder what longevity they get out of the cord?
Yes, it appears to work but we’d like to see under load or hard sprint. The company claims about 2000 km before replacement.
Yeah, that is the killer. There is a lot of force being generated in the chain even by a keen amateur like myself. As soon as you add an incline and dance on the pedals, the force is even more. It could work if the “string” is like the carbon belt drive that Trek were chucking on their urban bikes.
I was thinking the same thing, about the carbon reinforced belt drive.
Oh, and somebody needs to tell the boys from Budapest that the shifter cables on a TT bike go inside the handles.
Really cool concept though!

Now THIS is COOL!
Interesting. I too wonder how the “string” would stand up under load.
Interesting concept – thinking ou the box.
