Cutting-Edge Bicycle Technology
Sold out until 2024
2023 models will have an upgraded Shimano Alfine 8sp hub with Gates CDX belt system.
Due to popular demand, we're bringing back the 8H bike with even more high-tech refinements in this 2020 version.The 8H model is on the leading edge of biking technologies. It has the Gates CDX belt drive system and a Shimano Alfine 8sp hub. The drive train is rust-proof and won't stretch or slip as you change gears (this is particularly useful for boaters). This belt system is tried-and-tested technology more commonly found in motorcycles. The new belt's rounded carbon fiber teeth are more reliable, easier to maintain, and provide a much smoother riding experience.
The Shimano Nexus internal gear hub of the 8H uses a single, handlebar mounted grip shifter that provides super smooth shifting, even at a full stop.
You won’t experience the headaches that often occur with a metal chain, and low lying derailleur. You’ll be free of damage from dirt and grime with the completely sealed internal hub of the Nexus 8-speed gear.
The newest model includes a disc front and rear hub, 60T front CDX chain ring, 22T cog, and a suspension option that results in a much more comfortable ride. Having no rear derailleur, external shifter, cog, gears or chain means that you don't have to worry about improper shifting. And you never have to clean the drive train. Being enclosed in a completely sealed and maintenance-free setting, the 8H gives you a great riding experience without having to worry about maintenance.
To make riding the 8H even more awesome, we've added lightweight fenders, a durable rack, and a kickstand. The top-tier Tektro V brakes teamed with aluminum machined-sidewall rims make stopping the 8H super-fast and smooth.
We've added a water bottle braze-on (the cage is not included), an interface for the head tube bag (this makes the lives of commuters using the 8H much easier), a headset that is integrated into the head tube, and additional mini-bar ends and high-rise handlebars (this gives the rider a customized the fit without interfering with the fold).
We also upgraded the frame quick release, the folding pedals, and the stem on the new 8H.
The fact that you'll never find a bike with a Gates CDX carbon drive belt paired with the Shimano Alfine 8sp hub for under $2000. Whether you're a boater, R'ver, or commuter, the 8H is a cutting-edge folding bike model that you'll definitely love.
