  • Norwegian innovation - built for harsh weather environments

With Kindernay being based in Oslo, Norway, the internal gear hub is developed in some of the harshest winter conditions, from raging snowfalls to bike adventures in -30C in northern Norway. Our engineers have tested Kindernay in pretty much any weather environment imaginable; and the Kindernay XIV Fatbike never disappoints!

 

A fatbike equipped with the Kindernay XIV internal gear hub guarantees to take you almost anywhere, anytime. With our engineers being ‘Bicycle-Vikings’ at heart, they are used to thriving in ice, snow, freezing rain, and all other ‘revenant-conditions’ , so we can assure you that the Kindernay is designed to be a great companion on any fatbike ride or situation.

 

  • A better riding experience

As the Kindernay XIV seals most of its components inside the hub shell, the internal gear mechanism is not exposed to snow, ice, dirt, or salt. So, unlike with traditional derailleur gear systems, fluffy snow will never stand a chance of sticking to the gear components and will improve your riding experience. 

 

  • Zero winter-maintenance issues 

The Kindernay internal gear uses no external cassette, which ultimately translates into zero issues with ice build-up. Besides, by using light viscosity oil in the internal gear hub, XIV Fatbike avoids potential freezing hazards, even in heavy minus. Even in toughest winter conditions, you will never need to worry about a cassette being jammed up with slush and ice.

Aside the oil change (every 5000km), equipping your fatbike with Kindernay reduces the need for maintenance almost to zero, throughout the varying seasons.

 

  • Durability

As the Kindernay gear hub is at no time exposed to external elements that could potentially harm its internals, the Kindernay XIV will most likely outlast the rest of your fatbike. By being highly robust to almost all circumstances, the Kindernay XIV Fatbike ever-reduces the degree of potential wear.

 

  • Fatbike + Kindernay XIV Fatbike = a perfect match

With the winter conditions lurking outside of our homes, the fatbike is your perfect companion, weather you are commuting in extreme weather or planning your next biking adventure. Combined with the Kindernay internal gear hub, your fatbike can be ridden in a very low gear that allows you to plow and traverse through almost any fresh and deep snow conditions. With its instant shift system, the fatbike equipped with Kindernay gear always guarantees outstanding shifting performance.
