stepless
Smooth incline only
Stepless describes something that operates smoothly and continuously rather than in distinct increments or stages.
It most commonly appears in technical contexts to describe transmissions, controls, or adjustments that can be set to any point along a range rather than clicking between fixed positions.
A stepless transmission shifts gears without the jerky transitions of conventional gearboxes.
The lamp offers stepless dimming from full brightness to nearly off.
