son XS XS
Now available is the SON XS with 72 mm OLD. This narrower hub is develloped for Moulton NS, Brompton and Dahon folding bikes which cannot use a conventional sized hub. Smaller also means lower weight, without skewer the weight is 389 grams! This means that your folder will be no heavier than when fitted with a conventional botledynamo, but much more reliable as the dynamo can't be knocked out of alignment. 

Unlike the model above the spokes have to be removed for maintenance. As this is highly unlikely to be necessary, it is a small price to pay for the sizereduction. The axle is made out of alumnium. The E6b headlight with Brompton bracket will fit on the forkcrown under the Brompton bag.
