Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 Sprockets Compatible Reversible Cycling Gears

The Rohloff Sprockets are precision-engineered components designed exclusively for the Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14, offering exceptional reliability and adaptability for a broad spectrum of cycling applications. Manufactured to meet rigorous performance standards, these sprockets come in multiple tooth sizes, including 13, 15, 16, and 17 teeth, allowing cyclists to tailor their gearing setup for optimal efficiency and riding comfort. The reversible design of the 15, 16, and 17 tooth sprockets extends service life by enabling use from both drive sides, while the specialised 13 tooth sprocket is purpose-built for small-wheeled bicycles such as folding bikes and recumbents, accommodating a distinct chain line specification.

Constructed to withstand demanding riding conditions, these sprockets support torque loads up to 250Nm, ensuring robust protection for the internal gear hub during intensive cycling activities, including competitive racing and challenging terrain. The carefully engineered chainring-to-sprocket ratio transforms low crank revolutions into higher cog revolutions, optimising power transfer and drivetrain longevity. For ease of maintenance, Rohloff provides a dedicated sprocket removal tool, simplifying replacement and upkeep procedures.

These sprockets are an essential component for upgrading or customising your drivetrain, guaranteeing smooth shifting performance, durability, and compatibility across various bicycle configurations.
