Rohloff Speedhub 500/14 TS Threaded Spindle Tandem 135mm Internally Geared Hub

Experience the world - The Speedhub 500/14 gear hub by Rohloff

You love cycling. You love to escape from the stress and hectic goings-on of daily life. It's good that the Rohloff gears on your bike support you in this. This is because the Speedhub gearbox makes cycling very easy. Don't worry about whether the right gear is engaged, just turn the gear lever - even when stationary. With a twist, you can shift into any of the 14 gears.
In addition, the Speedhub is extremely low-maintenance. Experience gears that requires minimal maintenance. One quick oil change a year, that's all it takes. After that, it's just a matter of keeping an eye on the chain, chainring and rear sprocket. No comparison to conventional multiple derailleurs and their sensitive rear derailleurs. Rohloff wants you to ride, not wait.

The legendary Rohloff quality also includes the price-performance ratio of the gearbox. It is amazingly durable and also incurs minimal costs for its functionality. Enjoy an investment that pays off; because with every kilometre ridden, the cost balance improves compared to all other current derailleurs.
The Speedhub is so robust that it has even been certified to run more than 300,000 kilometres. One of the most important reasons why the best touring cyclists in the world swear by the Speedhub. There is hardly a spot on earth, no matter how exotic, where the Rohloff gear hub has not been seen.

Thanks to the Rohloff modular system, many different hub variants are created. For selecting the desired version, the
Online Configurator is very helpful.
