SONdelux Wide Body vs SON 28

[Ed Fausto]

Hi,
I have scanned the forum but could not find any discussion comparing the 2 hubs.

I plan to have a 26" wheel build (36 spoke Cliffhanger rim brake) for my size 50 MIT Atlantis to be used for multi months long touring.  Will be using the SON hub with IQ-X Senso Plus LED Headlight and maybe a Sinewave revolution USB charger.

Which of the two SON hub (delux vs 28) would be more suited for my application?

TIA

A nice guide here: https://www.renehersecycles.com/guide-to-generator-hubs/

I think with the 26" wheel size, you will be just fine with the SON delux.

I don’t experience with the Deluxe but have the SON 28 on my touring bike. The 28 powers a Sinewave Beacon light which has a USB outlet to charge devices.

Due to life getting in the way I don’t have a lot of touring miles where I used the charging function but when I did it worked pretty well with the 28.

The bike this is on is an off-road touring bike with fat tires and a Rohloff hub so if the 28 has more drag than the Deluxe I would never notice it.

Thanks Robert,

All of my bikes uses either the SONdelux or SONdelux wide body.
I don't have any experience with SON 28.
If I was aware that the SON 28 produces more current even on slow speed, I would have used it for my TransAm tour last 2016,

Thanks :-)
