With eight evenly spaced gears housed inside a sealed shell, it protects the mechanism from dirt, water, and road grime, making it ideal for commuting, city bikes, and utility builds. The black finish offers a clean, modern look that pairs well with a wide range of frames and components, while the robust Shimano engineering ensures long-term reliability and consistent performance in all weather conditions.
This hub is a great choice for riders who value simplicity and durability over constant tuning and adjustment.

Whether you are upgrading an existing bike or planning a new, low-maintenance city or trekking build, this hub provides a dependable drivetrain foundation with clean lines and minimal fuss.
