The Alfine 8-speed hub gear features a Center Lock system for mounting a disc brake rotor. Furthermore, this 8-speed hub has a high driving efficiency by using needle bearings and a forged hub shell in an attractive design. Gear range is equal to the already proven Nexus 8-speed internal hub gears. The Alfine gear hub has a single sprocket and a chain tensioner will be available for use with vertical drop outs. The single speed sprocket has been provided with a chain guard.
