No matter where you are or in which season - hot desert or during the coldest winter - the original Rohloff Speedhub twist shifters work always and smooth!  With Rohloff Speedhub you are able to shift while pedaling or standing and waiting for the green traffic light. You will always be with the right gear. 

The principle of Rohloff Speedhub shifter

The twist shifter works with two shift cables. 
When the twist shifter is rotated forward (direction gear #14), than the rear shift cable 14 is pulled.
When the twist shifter is rotated backward (direction gear #1), than the front shift cable 1 is pulled. 
The indexing of the shifting lies not in the twist shifter as with common designs, but inside the hub. There is no wear on the indexing system nor need to adjust it. 

The twist shifter is included in every original SPEEDHUB 500/14 package. Because the engagement of the gears is controlled within the hub itself, the shifter needs no other form of indexing. For this reason, the twist shifter can be mounted on either side of the handlebars. The twist shifter allows a quick shifting between all gears in just one turn. The new shifter comes with approx 80 grams (approx. 30g lighter than before). It is suitable for carbon handle bars. The new Rohloff Speedhub lightweight shifter replaces the former standard shifter.
