Note on compatibility and options

36 t chainring in combination with Alfine 8 offers a balanced gear range for sporty, but not speed-orientated riding. Please confirm saddle choice after measuring the sit bone width. Tubeless conversion, other tyre models or alternative saddle widths can be added on request.


Recommendation for pannier rack:

Luggage carrier LOGO 29" - black. (with luggage rack light Supernova)

The LOGO 29" is made for long tours. The narrow upper level provides a secure hold for a tent, mat or sleeping bag without protruding sideways.

Advantages at a glance

- Narrow top level for tent & pack sacks

- Deep bag position for more stability

- High load capacity (approx. 26-40 kg depending on model)

- Perfect for touring bikes and 29" bikes

- Harmonises ideally with the TARA front

Important differences


- Gear range:

- Alfine 8: 307 % → sufficient for the city and easy hills.

- Alfine 11: 409 % → better for touring, but often too tight on steep climbs with luggage.

- Rohloff 14: 526 % → ideal for steep hills and fast descents, covers practically all scenarios.

- Shifting comfort:

- Alfine 11 Di2 scores with electronic shifting - very convenient, but more complex.

- Rohloff remains mechanical, but extremely reliable and shiftable even under load.

- Maintenance & durability:

- Alfine: solid, but not developed for extreme continuous use.

- Rohloff: known for mileages of over 100,000 km, practically indestructible.
