TECHNOLOGY

At the heart of the internal gear system is a unique 7 speed planetary series with non-compound planetary gears, using fewer parts, offering a wide range with even gear intervals in a compact design. Designed to fit both the hub and shift actuator within the rear triangle of the frame, everything is well protected, inboard of the chain- and seat stays

Designed for efficient shifting and practical use in combination with any Kindernay internal gear hub, HYSEQ stands for HYdraulic and SEQuential. The system comprises a shifter, actuator, and hydraulic hose, and is based on the same underlying principles as hydraulic brakes, with a closed reservoir for thermal compensation, and bleed nipples on both the actuator and shifter for quick and hassle-free bleeding. The system is light-weight, robust, and simple, with a direct shift feel and minimal maintenance required.

The flexible SWAP hub flange system allows separation of the wheel from the internal gear hub. Wheel rims are laced to SWAP cages rather than the hubs, allowing quick assembly and changes between wheels, without the need to purchase a new gear hub for each new wheel. Kindernay SWAP shells have a unique cut-out design for optimal combination of light weight, tension-absorption, and high strength performance.

Kindernay gear hubs have fewer parts, resulting in a more compact solution, lower weight, with better performance and higher effi ciency than other gear systems

We use dog clutches with 24 points of engagement on a large diameter clutch (instead of a single, small engagement pawl), for extreme durability and better shifting performance.

The HYSEQ plug-and-play system requires no calibration of the gear shifter. It is low maintenance, with no clogging or wear of cables, for smooth and consistent shifting over the service life of the product.
