What’s the difference between a Shimano Nexus hub and a Shimano Alfine hub?

Both are internal gear hub transmissions designed by Shimano. The Nexus range is specially optimised for urban cycling and heavy-duty use, focusing on proven robustness and great ease of use. The Alfine range is more geared towards trekking or sporty touring bikes, with needle bearings built for higher-paced riding. The Nexus 8 is the ideal choice for a reliable everyday family cargo bike.
