SP PL-8X Dynamo Hub
$389.99
The new SP PL-8X is more efficient, technologically advanced and simpler than competing hub dynamos while also being 40 grams lighter in weight than any QR15 hub dynamo available.
Current tests show the PL-8X to have achieved a new record breaking efficiency of 78 percent (i.e. watts of mechanical energy converted directly in watts of electrical energy - minus wasted muscular effort that would otherwise be propelling rider and bicycle forward), ranking it above the SP 8 series hub dynamos which previously ranked highest in the world at 72 percent.
The PL-8X is the centrelock disc model. For 6 bolt discs, see the PL-8X.
- QR15 compatible
- Comes complete with adaptors for standard 9mm QRs
- Adaptors for 135mm fat bikes are available from Chris Laundrie for USD 31.99. These adaptors are 6061 T6 aluminum and weight about 70g
- Current testing suggests efficiency of 78% which is 6% more efficient that SP's 8 series hub dynamos
- Weight: 420g fully 40 grams lighter than the next lightest QR15 hub dynamo on the market
- Quick release not included
We also offer dynamo wheel builds on any dynamo hub - contact us for availability and advice on build options.
