What is the benefit of internal gear hubs?
For those of you who haven’t tried it, the Shimano internal gear hub offered on several of our models is fantastic. All of the gears in this design are hidden in the bicycle’s rear hub, offering a simple beautiful design that requires zero maintenance and does away with two derailleurs, multiple chain rings, cogs, and shift levers. Many people feel that the internal gear hubs shift smoother and easier than a rear derailleur.
