The Best Commuter Bike I've Ever Owned-The Priority 600 with Gates and Pinion

I've been using the Priority 600 daily for the past 9 months and I love it! The Pinion Gearbox along with the Gates Carbon Belt drive is the dream drivetrain. Did I mention low maintenance? How about NO maintenance! I love the WTB tires, the Dynamo hub lights and the comfy seat. This is the best commuter I've ever owned.

Hello my bike loving friends! Hope this video gives you an idea of why I love this bike. I love all bikes, but especially this one. Anyone have a favorite commuter out there?

Ryan. I watched this video six or eight months ago and was blown away by your authenticity and I had to watch it again. I've been married three times and each time a marriage ended it was emotionally sad and painful just as you described your break up with Ali. It's so healing to hear a fellow man express his true feeling about a loving relationship that has ended. Life does go on and there is always a way for each of us to continue to make this world a better place. Namaste.

[@seannicolaysen1628]

Oh man Ryan! I'm happy with my Onyx for my daily commute, but you're making me think about upgrading this coming year... One thing your review of Priority is missing... My six months in the saddle on my Onyx have not been as issue free as yours. I've had to replace gouged tires twice, adjust my belt tension, and I had a freak accident damage my belt and required a warranty replacement from Gates. I bring this up because Priority's customer service is off the charts good! Every interaction with them has been great. They take time to help you to get out your situation and they are responsive, friendily, and compotent! Love Priority, Dave and his team run an amazing shop! I can't imagine buying a daily commuter from any other brand!

Very good point! I should have mentioned that...Dave is always at the ready to help anyone, and take calls anywhere...probably to the chagrin of his family :) Happy Trails!

Great review! I sold my city/commuter bike. It was fast and stable. My favorite part was the internal 8-speed hub. You could up/down shift the full range standing still. That was great if you got caught on a hill or traffic light and had to stop in high gear. It was easy to downshift at a standstill. I cant wait for the next bike adventure from you. DD

I got interesting in the Pinion's low maintenance watching Bicycle Touring Pro Darren Alff with his buddy Kevin Burrett. Darren's Co-Motion and Kevin's Van Nicholas Deveron look really nice but they are much more expensive than the Priority 600. Fingers crossed that I will like riding the 600 as much as my 2017 Giant Anyroad 1. Thanks!

Great idea keeping your bike indoors to avoid theft.

[@dazzershell]

Dream bike, but too expensive commuter bike for city. Even in great Netherlands commuter bikes are super cheap, they even scrub new glancy frame so it looks ugly, to avoid them being thieft. One man told me his tradegy about his expensive sport bike, he left on street. He locked bike on Abus super lock. Angry thiefs doesnt succeeded to unlock or break it, hard steel doesnt broken. So they almost destroyed his bike completely (saint angry revenge).

[@xXETouXx]

This is one of the best videos I've seen yet! I think you might have convinced me... I had a project to build my own bike, but it's been months and I haven't got the time to do more than shuffle through videos and webshops... I was thinking about carbon drive, IGH in the rear, tubeless tires, strong rims... I think the Priority would at least be a good base that I could upgrade if I have issues with it! I ride in Montreal, Canada, where we have a lot of snow and abrasives in the winter, and also tons of potholes... I still ride the cheap bike I bought 10 years ago, but it requires heavy maintenance now. I have put over 800$ in maintenance and upgrades over the last 2 years lol

Get one car lane from every 4-lane main road, bolt down some modular concrete kerbs, paint a line in the middle, then see what happens.

Your first video in regards to the Priority 600 bike pushed me over the edge to purchase this bike during their Black Friday promotion. I had the great pleasure to deal with Dave the owner of Priority directly over the phone to solve a glitch with the processing of my credit card order and he was outstanding in helping me put the order through. Truly an awesome company that want to go out of their way for a great experience for their customers. As per the bike it has handled one of the most wintery of Canadian winters this year like a champ. So glad I decided on this bike over some other bikes I was considering. I should mention that I discovered your channel after doing research in regards to my new bike purchase and was stoked to see you posted a video of you and Ali riding right here in Canada on the Terry Fox Trail in London Ontario which happens to be a hop , skip and a jump down the 401 highway from where I live in Kitchener Ontario.

@@williamwilson7857 I had my handlebars set really high on my bike prior to the 600, a KHS Brentwood, which I liked. I felt like I was driving a SUV, sitting high and upright, offering me very good road visibility. The 600 was much lower slung, built more for reducing air drag. The 600 was designed mostly for commuting. It's a hybrid between a cruiser and a mountain bike. For me, it's almost perfect. The gearbox, located directly below the rider is optimally placed to lower your center of gravity, improving handling, which might be nice for a big guy. Years ago, I was thinking about getting a custom made bike built with the Pinion gearbox and Gates drive, but that would have cost me at least $6,000. I've had my 600 for a little over a year now, so I can't say much about the long term reliability of the Pinion gearbox. They say you should change the oil once a year, so that should help keep the gearbox running smooth. So far, I'm a very happy camper. The folks at Priority hit a home run with the 600. I'm sure you'll love it too.

I would have never looked at a Priority bike before, but since you ride it Ryan, I've gone to their website and I'm seriously considering one of their bikes. I think I'll send them an e-mail.

[@duzer]

They are a great company

[@HikerT]

My husband and I each ordered Priority 600s after watching some of your reviews/adventures! I'm so excited to try it - but they don't ship until the end of July, nothing like anticipation haha. Right now all my bicycling is being done on a REI cross/mountain bike. : ) Whatever gets us out there right? Thanks for all the great content!

[@dietmdew845]

How do you like the bikes now after a year of use? I am considering purchasing one.

[@HikerT]

@@dietmdew845 I'm absolutely loving mine. My husband ended up ordering a Priority Current, so he's on the eBike now. I haven't done much to change mine other than putting on tubeless tires.

[@geetakundu7235]

This bike is really fantastic and you too😉

[@duzer]

Thanks!

[@brianmerryman6743]

Ryan, Jamis renegade......all around bike that can do it all!

[@duzer]

Brian Merryman I’ve heard that’s a great bike!

[@hemaccabe4292]

You know, watching this video, I feel like taking another look at Priority's website. BRB.

Attn: Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders. I just bought this bike in Canada about a month ago and by the time I was done paying the exchange rate, duties and taxes this bike was almost $4000 Canadian, which is close to what you would pay in Australia or New Zealand. It is a nice bike but I just want you to have all the facts. I was kind of shocked when I was done paying all the fees, it came to about $800 more than I thought I was going to pay for it. Here is hoping the pinion belt drive lasts me for the next 10-15 years, I am expecting BIG things from this bike considering the premium I paid for it here in Canada.

[@StarEssences]

Co-Motion bikes also have a similar set-up as your Priority 600 bike; you can also customize the color scheme of the bike, but they are also kind of pricey for their bikes. Check them out.

[@duzer]

Yeah, those bikes are sweet! Great for touring

[@GenerationXT]

Priority offers either this or the rear hub version with some of their other models. I wonder if they've ever experimented using both on the same bike. The pinion drive system, with an adjustable range hub in the rear, basically implementing the same concept used on dual derailleur chain drive bikes.

[@hamygray]

Great review ,I would love to buy one in the UK through cycle to work scheme but my company only deals with Tredz or Halfords. I have a shimano alfine 8 speed hub and it slips in all gears when I put torque on.

[@nottooherbal]

You deserve high praise indeed for not having a car. Looks a very good bike. That belt looks like a thing worth having and it would be nice not having brake pads constantly sanding down your rims ; must make a lot of sense.

[@duzer]

Yeah, they put a lot of thought into this bike

[@zawawiyahya1512]

Looking forward new bike adv video

[@duzer]

Me too! Just gotta go on the adventure first!

[@SkeyeStone]

Do you still feel the same way about this bike or have you found something else a year later?

[@hemaccabe4292]

Would really like a fancy belt drive like the Rohloff or Enviolo, but they are crazy expensive. I'd also like some some suspension.

[@KELS0O]

Actually looking at this bike and the 600x lol I hope this one can do well in snow and harsh weather

[@duzer]

The 600x is great in bad weather!

[@KELS0O]

@@duzer just got to save man I do like the henders on the 600 but I just I can add them on

[@pedalingpete626]

Love what this bike has to offer. 2200 is a bargain. Priority. If your listening, please quiet down the rear hub, and add a USB charging plug since you have the dynamo. I would probably buy 2 with those changes.

[@duzer]

Pedaling Pete I imagine the usb charger is on its way, since the Onyx has it now. As far as the hub....let’s talk to Dave

[@midizengm]

This bike is a dream. I would buy it if it was sold in my country.

[@rolandshelley5165]

I just got to used bike from a swap meet or thrift store that way here reducing emissions also it's very cheap so no real problem if it gets stolen.

[@duzer]

that's a good plan too!
