Magneto

For the first time Alchemist prented the hub with Magneto technology (patent pending) at ExpoBici.

MAGNETO is a technology, covered by two Alchemist patents, thanks to which the hub offers continuous performance, the coupling is fast and the hub becomes indestructible. The heart of MAGNETO/’s innovation is the ratchet handling, which given its magnetic strength is no more than that of spring mechanics. Springs constituted the weak point of the hub as it was natural for them to be subject to wear, and over time to lose elasticity, slowing down the coupling and compromising the workings of the hub itself, sometimes causing the ratchets to break and consequently necessitating replacement. Having to access the springs constituted the second weak point of the hub as the seals do not render it completely impermeable to water and dust. In a hub equipped with the MAGNETO system the physical strength generated by the magnets to move the ratchets is practically unlimited over time and offers continuous performance even during coupling. Not having to access the hub cavity for maintenance purposes, it was possible to completely seal it thus rendering it completely indestructible.
