I’ve been writing about internal gear hubs for close to a decade, and a list of Rohloff bike models has long been requested.
The main reason I have refrained from compiling this list is that Rohloff hubs can be retrofitted to almost any bike – so any bike can technically be a Rohloff bike! There are many ways to tension the chain, manage the cables or secure the hub in any frame.
That said, a dedicated Rohloff bike is very nice to have.
Dedicated frames have Rohloff cable guides from the head tube to the hub (sometimes they’re even guided internally), along with a special rear dropout that makes installing your wheel particularly easy. Additionally, you can easily tension the chain or belt – typically via an eccentric bottom bracket or sliding rear dropouts.
Speaking of belts, almost all Rohloff bikes are now belt drive compatible. A belted frame requires a super-stiff rear triangle to keep the belt on the cog, and a splitter in the rear triangle to install the one-piece belt. Those that have been reading my articles for a while will know that I think belts are the ultimate drivetrain for bike travel.
Ok, let’s take a look at (almost) every Rohloff bike model currently available. Please note that I’m using complete bike models for this list.
