Well, the Rolhoff gives a 526% gear range, the NuVinci gives 350%. The SRAM iMotion 9 hub gives 340%. The iMotion's basic model, with coaster brake and steel shell, weighs about half of the NuVinci, and the carbon shell freewheel version will probably be under a third. The SRAM 9-speed hub will probably retail for about half the cost of the NuVinci in the USA.
