Premium German-Made Dynamo Hub for Reliable Bike Lighting
The Schmidt SON28 Dynamo Hub is the gold standard for bicycle lighting systems, delivering reliable power generation with almost no rolling resistance. Made by Wilfried Schmidt Maschinenbau in Tübingen, Germany, this hub dynamo is engineered for long-distance cyclists who need dependable lighting in any weather condition, day or night. A claw-pole generator with a center-mounted coil achieves unrivaled low no-load losses, so the hub runs nearly as smoothly as a standard front hub when lights are off.
At just 16 km/h on a 700c wheel, the SON28 reaches its rated output of 6 volts and 3 watts, providing ample power for headlights, taillights, and charging devices even at lower speeds. The unique pressure compensation system offers best-in-class protection against water ingress, while sealed SKF bearings ensure long-life, maintenance-free operation designed for at least 50,000 kilometers between services. Precise spoke holes with large countersinks create stable, true wheels that stay aligned ride after ride.
