Hub Dynamos for Folding Bikes – SON XS

There is more to a folding bike like the Brompton than just a practical means of transportation. They are chic, represent a life style and you can customize them individually. The SON XS is optimized for the small wheels and the narrow fork of folding bikes. Since 2013, SON XS has a smaller housing for straight pull spokes.

Semi Radial Spoke Pattern

We developed the semi radial spoke pattern, to realize the extra compact and elegant design of the new SON XS. We positioned the hub slots for the spokes in such a way that, when lacing spokes, the straight pull spokes bend slightly as soon as they are tensioned. A purely radial spoke pattern would be critical with hub dynamos, as the pole sensitivity of the generator may cause audible vibrations of the spokes. The bend of the semi radial spoke pattern avoids the vibrations. For retrofitting of brompton folding bikes we also offer complete wheels with semi radial spoke pattern.

wheels
  • Optimized Generator

    The claw-pole generator has its coil in the centre. Sheet metal parts are made with elaborate workmanship. Thus unrivalled low no-load lossses are achieved.

  • Pressure Compensation System

    Best possible protection against water ingress is realised by the unique pressure compensation system.

  • High-Quality Bearings

    SON hubs are long-life and maintenance-free due to high-end bearings sealed on both sides from SKF.

  • Precise Spoke Holes

    Precise spoke holes with large countersinks are a must for loadable wheels. This is why it will be sufficient to true the wheel only once.

  • Reliable Wiring

    As connections robust 4.8 mm spade connectors are used. They make a safe connection, when professionally crimped onto SON coaxial cable.
