About Rohloff

Rohloff was founded back in 1986 as a small family business determined to enrich the cycle trade with product development reaching far further than a short-lived trend. Every Rohloff product that exits their premises has been subject to their intensive quality control that ensures you the cyclist, are able to enjoy ten’s if not hundreds of Km’s of cycling enjoyment. This quality has not only won them countless fans and loyal customers over the last 30 years, but has also won Rohloff many international sporting events, world records and has been essential in taken touring cyclists to some of the remotest regions on the planet.

Regardless of the type of cyclist you are, be it athletic, commuter, touring etc., when you mount your bicycle, you choose an extremely effective form of transportation and in doing so, play your part in conserving the environment. A SPEEDHUB 500/14 is the perfect transmission for those wishing to cycle rather than wrench on their bike. The resulting, reliable drivetrain, not only saves time in the workshop, but also saves money thanks to the number and size of components remaining subject to wear-and-tear.

Obviously not everywhere is as flat as Holland – the topology of some cities is far from flat and even. The SPEEDHUB provides a huge overall gear ratio to ensure you are able to cycle uphill as easily as you can down. Put your trust in an unusually durable product, capable of being transferred to future generations and from one bike to the next as it outlives all other components. That is what we call sustainability. Made in Germany.

The construction of the SPEEDHUB is based around a modular system. The classic SPEEDHUB versions are constructed for a 135mm O.L.D. and available with a choice of quick-release (CC) or threaded axle (TS). In the past years, the Rohloff AG have extended the SPEEDHUB range to remain compatible with modern, alternative mounting options. As such, we are pleased to confirm that SPEEDHUBs are currently available to fit numerous frame spacings from 135mm to 197mm for fatbikes with 12mm thru axle system.
