SON hub dynamo SONdelux 12 Center Lock SL | 12x100 mm thru axle
SON hub dynamos are legendary. They are probably the best on the market - powerful, robust and lightweight. This delux version is specially designed for road bikes and gravel bikes and brings a lot of light into the dark on the road or gravel tracks.
Since the highly effective LED lights have replaced the halogen headlight, a dynamo does not have to develop its maximum power at low speeds. It is therefore possible to make the generator smaller and therefore lighter, which is precisely the case with the SONdelux. In contrast to the SON28, it weighs less, but still has the same durability and quality of workmanship. It also has a 30 - 35 % lower power consumption when idling, which results in significantly lower rolling resistance.
The Swabians also pay particular attention to the sealing of the hub. In addition to high-quality SKF ball bearings, a unique pressure equalization system offers the best possible protection against water ingress.
SON is breaking new ground with the wiring of the SL hub dynamos. The SL (self-) contacting works directly via the axle, without any fiddly plugs or annoying cables - a very elegant solution. The axial contact surfaces of the fork serve as the connection. However, this must be prepared for this. Retrofitting is not possible.
All SON products are manufactured in Tübingen. This results in short distances between development and production as well as direct quality control. The makers therefore have a high level of confidence in their hub dynamos and give you a 5-year guarantee.
