They realized there was a gap in the market for a high-end internal gear hub with more gears, but at a lower price point than the Rohloff hub. Japanese bicycle part manufacturer Shimano was already offering eight speed internal gear hubs in their Nexus and Alfine product lines. The Rohloff carries a hefty price tag of somewhere around 1000 euros. The better known internal gear hub is the Rohloff Speedhub 500/14 with 14 gears and a total range of 526%, while all other internal gear hubs don't go much beyond 300%. When it comes to internal gear hubs there are many options, from different manufacturers, but as soon as you want a slightly larger range that will allow you to climb some serious hills there are not so many options left. I am especially interested in reports from people who service multiple hubs. If you have used this hub for more than a year (the longer the better), or have any failures to report please contact me and tell me how much distance you covered, and what maintenance schedule was kept. To provide better information about the long term reliability of this hub I am looking for input from you.
