28 Disc 15x100 Hub Dynamo

Hub dynamo or thru axle?
Up to now, demanding cyclists had to without either of the two options. A thru axle stiffens the suspension fork and allows for a precise positioning of the hub, which especially proves advantageous when using disc brakes. More and more mountain bikers want to benefit from the advantages a hub dynamo lighting system offers. In order to combine both aspects, Schmidt Maschinenbau not only had to change the axle design, but also some essential parts of the generator. The result: A hub dynamo that is similar to the SON 28 Disc with regards to design, robustness and electric values, but that comes with a thick "hole". With only approx. 460 g, the weight is also very low. The rated maximum power is achieved on a 29" bike at approx. 16 km/h. It is thus recommended to use this hub dynamo when you need a lot of light during slow rides or when you would like to charge other devices, such as a navigation device or a smartphone.

In order to prevent your lights from being permanently on, you will need a front light with a switch!
