**Internal gear hubs have been usedfor bikes since the 20th century and have proven to be an incredibly effective and reliable alternative to external gears ever since.** 

Initially created in Salford, England in 1896, internal gears have been tremendously improved in their technological offerings and capabilities.  

 

The **Kindernay XIV** is at the forefront of internal gear hubs and guarantees outstanding performance for each individual ride; it is the first multispeed gear hub with full-length standard 12 mm Through-Axles. 

 

You wonder what further differentiates the Kindernay XIV and why should you change to the best internal gear hub currently offered on the market? We have gathered *four** compelling reasons* which distinguish the Kindernay XIV from other, both internal and external, gears currently available. 

 

### ***1. BETTER SHIFTING*** 

The Kindernay XIV promises to facilitate and create an **outstanding shifting performance** through its **instant shift system,** especially compared to the typical derailleur systems. With its ability to **shift speed under load**, you can fully avoid the annoyance of coming to a stop or being in too high of a gear to restart the ride.  

 

The shifting is seamless and requires **no pedaling** in order change to any gear; once the click is heard, the shift has been completed - all that with a one-time calibration at the factory. With the Kindernay XIV internal gear hub, biking has really never been more fun! 

 

### ***2. CONVENIENCE*** 

The Kindernay XIV is incredibly **versatile**, as it can be fitted to almost any bike of your desire. It is approved for use on the Speed Pedelecs and is the perfect companion for any eMTB, eBike, or modern bike of preference. What is more, the wheels can - with no difficulties - be **easily swapped**, thanks to the unique Kindernay [Swap Cage](https://kindernay.com/technologies/swap/) - an innovative, separate hubshell that allows having several wheelsets without the cost of purchasing a separate gearhub for each of them.

  

You would think that the versatility has its cost, but the Kindernay XIV proves you wrong. By being almost **fully maintenance-free** and e**xtremely durable and robust**, you do not need to worry about any undesirable interferences for the years to come.  

  

### ***3. SUPERIOr PERFORMANCE*** 

The Kindernay XIV promises superior performance and stands out with a **high torque-capability** and a **543% gear range**between the first and fourteenth gear. The **modern axle standard** with its 12 mm Thru-Axle, large-diameter clutches, and 24 engagement points, ensures a disruption-free ride experience, anywhere, anytime. And all of this in addition to being **ultra-compact** and **featherily lightweight,** with only 1400 grams!  

 

      *The Kindernay XIV - Adjusted for life, anywhere, anytime*

 

###  ***4. GUARANTEED S*********A***TISFACTION*** 

 The Kindernay XIV has been created to break the rules of technology and to improve the shifting and riding experience of every biker. Whilst there is always room for improvement, the [**positive feedback**](https://kindernay.com/inside-k/user-stories/) from our customers proves our efforts right and demonstrates that Kindernay XIV really is the best internal gear hub out there!
