BikeRadar Says the Priority 600 “Ticks All the Boxes”

In its review of the Priority 600, BikeRadar summed things up succinctly: this bike “ticks all the durability boxes.” From internal gearing and a belt drive to disc brakes, fenders, and dynamo lights, BikeRadar framed the 600 as a bike purpose-built for the realities of commuting and all-road riding.

Below are the key callouts BikeRadar highlighted—and why they continue to define the Priority 600.

Built for the Real Demands of Commuting

BikeRadar made an important distinction early on: while mountain bikes may see rough terrain, commuter bikes often endure the most consistent abuse. Daily exposure to dirt, rain, potholes, and year-round mileage puts real strain on traditional components.

The Priority 600 was designed to meet those challenges head-on. By eliminating common wear items like chains and derailleurs, the bike reduces failure points and keeps performance consistent day after day.

Internal Gearing and Belt Drive at the Core

At the heart of the Priority 600 is a 12-speed Pinion internal gearbox paired with a Gates Carbon Drive belt—a combination BikeRadar emphasized as the foundation of the bike’s durability.

The Pinion gearbox delivers a 600% gear range, comparable to a traditional multi-chainring drivetrain, while keeping all moving parts sealed away from dirt and grime. Its low, central placement in the frame also improves balance and stability. The belt drive replaces a traditional chain with a rust-free, grease-free system that requires virtually no ongoing maintenance.

Together, this drivetrain setup is designed to keep riders rolling with minimal intervention.

Fully Equipped for Urban Riding

BikeRadar noted that the Priority 600 arrives ready for daily use, without requiring riders to add essential accessories after purchase.

Highlighted commuter features include:

  • Full-coverage fenders
  • Integrated kickstand
  • Reflective frame accents
  • Dynamo-powered front and rear lights

These details reinforce the bike’s utility-first design and make it well suited for daily commuting in all conditions.

Confident Performance Beyond the City

While urban durability was a central theme, BikeRadar also emphasized the Priority 600’s all-road capability. Equipped with 650b wheels, wide WTB Horizon tires, and hydraulic disc brakes, the bike is comfortable on pavement and confident when the route turns to dirt or gravel.

BikeRadar positioned the 600 as equally at home on city streets and off the pavement—ideal for commutes that turn into longer adventures.

A Bike That Prioritizes Reliability Over Flash

BikeRadar described the Priority 600 as a bike that focuses on function rather than trends. With a clean, understated look and a feature set driven by longevity and practicality, it’s designed to be ridden hard without constant attention.

For riders looking for a commuter and all-road bike that’s built to last, BikeRadar’s conclusion was clear: the Priority 600 checks every box that matters.
