The Sachs Elan was a epicyclic internal hub gear for bicycles, introduced by Sachs in 1995 and manufactured until 1998. At the time it was the first epicyclic hub gear commercially available with more than 7 speeds.

The Elan was unreliable, and weighed a full 3.4 kg (7 1/2 pounds), 4 kg with an integrated coaster brake.[1]

After SRAM took over Sachs, the Elan was sold under the name E12.[1]
