HS-F007R
Bicycle Hub

Category: 02 Parts and Components

HS-F007 Rear Hub Drive Mechanism with Patented Integrated One-Piece Planar Gear Structure The integrated, one-piece planar gear structure effectively prevents slippage due to vertical movement of the left and right planar gears. The one-piece structure realizes very fine meshing of the gears for more direct output. Unlike discrete planar gear structures now on the market, the one-piece design can be assembled in any direction and sequence. Parts can be replaced without having to disassemble the entire unit as well, making maintenance quick and easy to carry out. There is also less risk of parts going missing or being left out.

JURY STATEMENT

The HS-F007R achieves significant technical innovation through its clean and streamlined structural design, further validated by its patented technology. By maintaining the integrity of the hub’s core functions while simplifying its structure, the design not only reduces manufacturing costs but also enhances serviceability. It is a representative winning entry that fully embodies the competition’s philosophy—balancing practical value with an innovative spirit.
