#Stable, strong and easy to maintain.

Say goodbye to reduced drivetrain wear.

​

Do you cycle daily, short trips in the city or long recreational tours and do you want to do little maintenance yourself? Then a hub gear is for you. Do you often cycle long distances or regularly on hilly terrain and do you not find any maintenance a problem? Then you could choose a derailleur.

Shimano hub gear system.

What is a hub gear system.

 

A hub gear is a gear system that is completely concealed in the hub of the rear wheel. Because this acceleration mechanism is incorporated in the hub, the system is quite low maintenance. The system is locked in the housing of the hub, and works dust and moisture-free. This is especially ideal for city bikes and is also the big advantage over a derailleur gear.

​

Shimano hub gears have been the standard on city bikes for years and we also see them a lot on electric bikes. From school bicycles to sporty touring bicycles, we see the hub gears everywhere. 

#Under the hood.

The NEXUS speed system offers a high level in terms of design, quality and function. Much technical progress has been made, such as installing Shimano's unique switching aid system, which makes real light switching a reality.

Shimano hub gears are strong and durable and have particularly good switching performance for mid-engine eBikes. The Shimano hub gear has an efficient and wide switching range due to the heavier transmission. Due to the dense hub, it requires little to no maintenance. Most Shimano hub gears are applicable and available with belt-driven eBikes and in combination with a chain guard.

#How long does a hub gear last?

There are several stories about how long this hub should last. If you maintain it properly, it should last at least 15,000 kilometers. This can be much longer with good use. Often this hub lasts longer than the rest of the bike.

Shimano Nexus Speed and Alfine hub gears.

 

Which Shimano hub gears are available for eBikes.

​

Shimano Nexus 3-speed

The Nexus 3 gear hub is the simplest hub gear and has 3 gears. This gear hub is widely used on transport, city and school bicycles.

​

Shimano Nexus 5-speed

The Nexus 5 gear hub has been specially developed for eBikes. Due to its robust construction, the hub is more resistant to the pulling power of center-engine Ebikes, making the gears less likely to be replaced or maintained.

​

Shimano Nexus 7-speed

The Nexus 7 gear hub offers a wider switching range for a smoother transition from one gear to another. Because the gears are well coordinated, shifting from a lower to a higher gear or vice versa feels very natural.

Shimano Nexus 8-speed

The Nexus 8 gear hub is the bigger brother and more luxurious version of the Nexus 7 and offers a longer switching range, less resistance, better switching performance and is more durable. Less resistance is created inside the hub, making the hub lighter and less wear on the gears.

​

Shimano Alfine 8-speed

The Alfine hub gear is identical in switching range to the Nexus 8, however the interior of the Alfine is different from that of the Nexus 8. The Alfine has 4 planet wheels instead of 3. This provides more stability and promotes durability because the load is distributed over 4 planet wheels. The Alfine switches very easily and accurately.

​

In addition to the traditional chain, the Shimano hub gears can also be combined with a belt drive.
