How to buy Classified: all available options explained

Convert Your Existing Bike with Classified

If you already have a bike you love, converting it with Classified is a flexible and popular option. Depending on your needs, there are several ways to approach this.

  • Convert with Classified Wheels

Our most popular option:

Classified offers its own CC wheelsets, fully optimized for the Powershift hub. These wheels are designed to deliver the best performance, reliability, and seamless integration.

Best for: Riders who want a plug-and-play solution with guaranteed compatibility and premium performance.

  •  Convert with Your Existing Wheels

You can install the Classified system on your current bike while keeping your own wheels. In this case, your rear wheel will need to be adapted or rebuilt around a Classified Hubshell to accommodate the Classified Powershift Hub. Please note that you will have to check the compatibility of the rim with the Classified Hubshell.

Best for: Riders who want to keep their trusted wheelset and minimize additional upgrades.

  •  Convert with Partner Wheels

Classified works with selected wheel brand partners who offer wheelsets prebuilt with the Powershift hub. This allows you to combine Classified technology with wheels from well-known manufacturers.

Best for: Riders who prefer a specific wheel brand while still enjoying a ready-to-ride Classified setup.

Classified chooses to work with bike shops only to ensure the best customer experience and correct installation of the system. You can find an overview of all Classified dealers in our dealer locator.
