• 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?

  • There appears to be a bit of both, really. There are two freewheels so perhaps that promotes some extra drag?

    When riding the kind of terrain the bike was built for the rear wheel tracking is so good any drag is negated.
