Rohloff

Rohloff AG is a German bicycle drivetrain manufacturer best known for its internally geared rear hub, the Rohloff Speedhub. The company develops and produces gear hubs, shifting systems, and related components used on bicycles worldwide.

The Speedhub is a 14-speed internally geared hub that provides a broad overall gear range and is designed to be robust and maintenance-friendly. It uses a sealed, oil-lubricated planetary gear arrangement and shifts with a dedicated hand lever mounted on the handlebars. Many riders value its ability to shift under load and its low maintenance profile compared with external derailleur systems. The hub is commonly found on touring, trekking, and expedition bikes, as well as some mountain and commuter builds.

Rohloff distributes its products through a network of dealers and service centers across Europe, North America, and other regions. The company also offers technical support, spare parts, and servicing for its hubs. In addition to the Speedhub, Rohloff manufactures other drivetrain components, accessories, and tools to support their hubs. Rohloff is recognized for durable, high-performance drivetrain solutions and for emphasizing reliability and long service life in demanding riding conditions.
