Description
The Rohloff Speedhub 500/14 CC DB OEM2 QR is one of cycling's most respected internal gear hubs — a precision German-engineered 14-speed system built for riders who want mechanical reliability above all else. Designed around a quick-release axle with disc brake compatibility, it suits touring, gravel, and expedition riding where drivetrain simplicity is non-negotiable.
Use Cases
Daily training. Reliable use across Indian training conditions — heat, humidity, and rough tarmac.
Race day. Performance-grade construction for competitive efforts.
Long rides. Built for full-day rides across Western Ghats, Sahyadri, or Nilgiri climbs.
Our Take
For Indian riding conditions — think loaded touring on the Manali–Leh highway, daily commuting through Pune's rain-soaked lanes, or multi-day gravel adventures in Coorg — the Rohloff Speedhub's internal gear system is genuinely compelling. No exposed cassette or derailleur to battle monsoon grime, dust, or road debris. The wide gear range handles sustained Western Ghats climbs and flat expressway cruising equally well. At Rs. 1,18,000, this is a long-term investment in a hub built to outlast multiple drivetrains.
Sizing for Indian Riders
This hub uses a quick-release axle and is designed for frames with standard QR dropout spacing — confirm your frame's rear spacing before ordering. The disc brake interface (CC = Centerlock/disc) requires a Centerlock-compatible rotor. Lacing to your chosen rim determines final wheel size — consult a qualified wheel builder, particularly if sourcing spokes locally in cities like Bangalore or Delhi.
Compatibility Notes
This is the OEM2 variant with QR axle and disc brake (Centerlock) interface — confirm your frame uses QR dropouts and Centerlock-compatible brakes. The Speedhub requires Rohloff-specific shifters and cables; it is not compatible with standard Shimano or SRAM shifting systems. Oil changes are required per Rohloff's service schedule — Rohloff Speedhub Oil is a separate purchase.
Pairs Well With
Complete your Speedhub build with a Rohloff-compatible shifter and cable set, a quality double-butted spoke set for lacing to your rim of choice, Rohloff Speedhub Oil for routine maintenance, and a durable touring or gravel tyre suited to Indian mixed-surface conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Rohloff Speedhub 500/14 best used for?
The Rohloff Speedhub excels in long-distance touring, bikepacking, and daily commuting where drivetrain reliability matters more than weight savings. Its 14 internal gears stay protected from monsoon rain, road grime, and dust — making it ideal for Indian conditions from Leh highway expeditions to daily city riding in Chennai or Kolkata, where derailleur maintenance is a constant challenge.
What size or variant of the Rohloff Speedhub should I order?
This listing is the OEM2 QR variant — a hub shell for custom wheel builds using a quick-release axle and Centerlock disc brake interface. Confirm your frame has QR rear dropout spacing and Centerlock-compatible brakes. You will also need to source a compatible rim, spokes, Rohloff-specific shifters, and cables separately. If uncertain, consult a professional wheel builder before ordering.
Will the Rohloff Speedhub hold up in Indian monsoon conditions and 35°C+ heat?
Yes — this is one of the Speedhub's strongest advantages. The fully sealed internal gear system keeps all 14 gears protected from monsoon flooding, dust on Indian back roads, and summer heat. Routine oil changes per Rohloff's service schedule are required, but the hub is built to operate reliably across decades of varied conditions, including the extremes common across Indian geography.
How does the Rohloff Speedhub compare to a standard derailleur drivetrain?
A derailleur drivetrain typically offers more gears, lighter weight, and lower upfront cost. The Rohloff Speedhub offers fewer total gears but a wider overall range, full weather protection, minimal maintenance, and dramatically longer service life. For touring or commuting in India where roadside repairs are difficult, the Speedhub's sealed reliability often outweighs the weight and cost premium over a conventional groupset.
Is the Rohloff Speedhub worth Rs. 1,18,000 in India, and what warranty does it include?
For dedicated tourers and commuters, yes — the Speedhub is engineered to outlast multiple conventional drivetrains. The total cost of ownership over years of riding compares favourably once cassette, chain, and derailleur replacement cycles are factored in. Rohloff offers a manufacturer warranty on the Speedhub; for warranty terms and service support in India, contact Cobbled Climbs directly at the time of purchase.
