• What rear hub does the Deviate come with? I'm curious as to how much lag there is in the gearbox freehub, and it appears to bother some more than others

  • It comes with a Stan's Neo hub. Lag is slightly more pronounced than standard freehubs alone but I have found no disadvantage in either technical climbs or descents.

    There is some discernable drag when riding more groomed trails but the bike was built for steep tech and gnar so it handles that beautifully.

    If it's anything like the Rohloff, that should lessen over time. I presume it's pedalling drag, rather than when freewheeling?
