Sturmey-Archer currently offers a manual ('kick-back') shift two-speed, the S2, and an automatic shift, the A2. Both offer a 1:1 low gear and a 1:1.38 high gear.

In 1970 cycletourist Colin Martin rode from England to Australia on an Alex Moulton bike fitted with a Sachs (the company was later purchased by SRAM) two speed hub and two chainwheels and two cogs. The bike therefore had a 'flat land' two speed range and a 'mountain' two speed range. The chain was moved by hand in response to conditions encountered.
