S-A has a very complete website. I suggest you check there and maybe send them an email. **Q: Is direct drive low gear or high?** A: The direct drive is high gear (1:1) with the drive sprocket. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully simple *by N***O on January 22, 2015* Previously I have build a single speed with Sram automatix rear hub with the coaster brake for simple commuting. The problem was climbing hills, if you're going over twelve miles an hour then your sitting on the high gear. I would have to coast or brake in order to get to the low gear. It doesn't take much to get back into the high gear.I need something simple but without shifting cable or lever. So I found Strumey Archer S2 hub, just the kick shift without coaster brake. I really didn't like the coaster brake. The hub works beautifully, easy to shift with a simple back pedal. It takes some practice to get use to the shift point but now I can power up hills without braking or waiting for the lower gear to kick in. Thinking of getting another one and switching out the Sram Automatix hub. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Finicky. *by B***N on July 13, 2019* I like this overall as a way of getting an extra gear without ruining the nice, clean look of a single speed frame. But just about every video you find demonstrating this hub shows a bunch of failed shifts before getting it. Even with a lot of practice, that's pretty typical.I built a wheelset with one of these. I commuted with it every weekday for about a year and still ride it around town on weekends. It took me months to be able to shift somewhat reliably. I tried every combination of quick kicks (like the name suggests,) slow backpedaling, pausing before backpedaling, backpedaling immediately, counting a certain number of clicks to shift up and a different number to shift down. For months, I had a system that worked maybe 75% of the time. Then I found that you can get from low to high with a quick 1 click backpedal. Downshifting requires a short pause followed by backpedaling just a little less than 2 clicks. I'm pretty happy with that system but even that gets a little unreliable when my chain starts to get a little slack in it.I love the idea but the end result isn't that great to live with compared to a conventional shifter. I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5 if I could. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best decision for riding freewheel *by S***. on March 6, 2020* I love this hub. It solves my issues of not wanting cables running throughout my bike, and the shifting motion is a simple one to execute. It takes a little getting use to at first as you have to get a feel for the two different gear settings, but after just one ride it’s obvious. The second gear clicks louder when free spinning as a sign of it needing to be shifted. It is such a clean look overall. It’s naturally a bit heavier than the usual rear hub, but the added gear more than makes up for it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5962859-sturmey-archer-s2-duomatic-kick-shift-hub-32h-black](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5962859-sturmey-archer-s2-duomatic-kick-shift-hub-32h-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
