In addition to making the Shaft Drive Transmission System, Sussex is also a full-service bicycle manufacturer offering complete bicycles including bike specification, parts ordering and procurement, assembly and containerized delivery to seaports in Taiwan.

Using Sussex as your full-service bicycle manufacturer ensures the highest quality finished product. This is especially important in the manufacturing of the frames and assembly of the shaft drive onto the frame.

Over the last decade, Sussex has designed and produced many styles of bicycles, including adult 700C city/hybrid, 26" mountain, 20" folding and chopper styles, as well as kids 20" BMX bikes. We can also design a frame unique to your specifications to match the frame requiremments of our shaft drive system.

The majority of bicycles using our shaft drive system are integrated with the Shimano family of advanced internal gear hubs, including 3-speed, 7-speed and 8-speed. Shimano's internal gear hubs are an advanced gearing technology, whereby all the gears are fully enclosed within the rear hub of the bike. These hubs are called planetary gears - much like the tranmission in a car - giving a wide range of gearing in a very compact space. So unlike chain bikes that have fully exposed (external) sprockets and derailleurs, internal gear hubs compress all of this gearing into a compact, highly efficient cylindrical component inside the rear hub. This internal gear hub integrates seamlessly with our shaft drive to create incredibly efficient gear shifting and smooth speed changes. Shimano’s internal gear hubs require very little maintenance and are lifetime sealed and lubricated to safely protect them from dirt, debris and damage.

Chainless bicycles using the Sussex shaft drive and Shimano hub offer a comfortably wide range of gearing without all the messy external moving parts.

Think about it – how many gears do you really use? How many times have you had to fix a derailed chain? Shimano’s internal gear hubs merely spread out the gears for you, giving you tremendous gear range with just a few simple twists of the wrist.

8-Speed Bicycles

8-Speed bikes using our shaft drive are designed to keep up with your riding ambitions. With a high torque rating and a wide gear range, the 8-speed premium (identifiable by its red stripe) is our most rugged and versatile gear hub. The planetary gears are cold forged and heat treated to take long term abuse, and the hub internals are designed to handle inputs that would exceed what could be exerted by any rider. SUSSEX Bicycles 8-speed bikes offer a gear range comparable to 20 gears on a 24-gear chain bike, including multiple climbing gears for exhilarating off-road performance. From rapid uphill climbing to aggressive downhill riding, you’ll appreciate the smooth transitions and rugged reliability of this premium 8-speed hub. Want more climbing power or more speed? We can adjust the final gearing of the bike using one of our 3 shaft drives, giving you the ability to set the final gearing to meet the kind of riding you do most - from steep and technical off-road climbing to high end speed on the flats. 

7-Speed Bicycles

7-Speed shaft drive bikes are proven workhorses featuring smooth, easy gearing for worry-free, everyday riding. Featuring its smooth, responsive shifting, these bikes are super easy to operate and fun to ride. Our 7-speed bikes offer a gear range comparable to 17 gears on a 24-gear chain bike. This provides cyclists with a wide range of gearing to cruise along roadways and pathways as gracefully as they conquers hilly roads.

Chainless Bikes Are Easier to Maintain

Both the shaft drive and the internal gearing are inherently low maintenance, so little effort is required on your part to keep your bike running at peak efficiency. Compared to chain bikes, they can go much longer without maintenance or adjustment so they can operate more efficiently, more consistently. In fact, almost all of our bike components can easily maintained at home – from tire changes to cable adjustments, our bikes are as easy to maintain as they are to ride.

Chainless is Painless

With the fully enclosed shaft drive technology, there are no exposed moving or greasy parts. So unlike traditional bikes with chains and sharp sprokets, our shaft drive bicycles won’t ‘bite’ you. You also won’t have to worry about grease on your hands or clothes. In other words, with a chainless bike, you can take it anywhere, anytime, worry free, and arrive in style.
