From the shimano tech docs Ive seen theres a new nexus 3 hub that has 2 underdrive gears(+disk brake option)+one direct drive
gear.It seems to be marketed to the US market.
It also features a silent clutch mechanism compared to the standard pawl ratcheting one.
The very popular one here in Europe has 1 underdrive,one direct gear and one overdrive gear,Just like the classiv Sturmey Archer hub.
Any idea why the US nexus3 differs so much?
Also,anyone got any experience with the nexus 5?
Its seems to be a jap only product.
