Nexus - internal gear system for bicycles from Shimano
Good starting article on internal gears. Shows transmission ratios and helps you compare with more common 'guts out'gearing systems.
Bikes with Nexus 8 system
- Giant CRX City
- GLOBE globe city 3.1
- At ktm-bikes.at you can find Avenue and Univers models with Nexus planetary gear hubs. They are apparently still with Nexus 7 range a lot. Check Life Fun trekking bike series as well.
