PROGRESS Nitro2 Ceramic Road CL Disc Front Hub
Elevate your ride with the PROGRESS Nitro2 Ceramic Road CL Disc Front Hub, the culmination of over four decades of engineering excellence and a testament to cutting-edge performance. Launched for the 2025 season, the new Nitro II series represents a significant leap forward in hub technology, meticulously designed with a focus on what truly matters to dedicated road cyclists: uncompromising performance, enhanced usability, and superior durability. This precision-machined 7075 aluminum front hub is engineered specifically for modern disc brake road bikes, delivering a tangible advantage on every ride, from grueling climbs to high-speed, technical descents. Experience the revolutionary feel of a wheel built with perfectly balanced spoke tension, resulting in a system that is significantly stiffer, more responsive, and built to last.
Unlocking Unrivaled Performance Through Advanced Technology
The PROGRESS Nitro2 hub is built around a core of innovative technologies designed to minimize friction and maximize strength. At its heart lies the PAL-TECH technology, which guarantees a 100% parallel and perfectly aligned bearing seat. This meticulous manufacturing process ensures that the large-diameter 28mm COAX ceramic bearings operate with virtually zero friction and under no undue stress. The result is an incredibly smooth, fast-rolling experience that allows you to maintain speed with less effort, while dramatically increasing the lifespan of the bearings.
Furthermore, the hub´s architecture is optimized for creating a stronger, more stable wheel. The intelligent 2:1 spoke lacing pattern (16:8) works in concert with a larger diameter flange on the right side. This asymmetric design achieves the holy grail of wheel building: equalized tension between the left and right spokes. By gaining a +2º increase in spoke angle, the wheel achieves a dramatic boost in lateral rigidity. This translates to precise, confident handling in corners and immediate, efficient power transmission when you´re accelerating or sprinting, ensuring no watt is wasted. The secure and easy-to-use Center Lock disc anchor provides a reliable interface for your brake rotor, delivering consistent and powerful braking performance when you need it most.
Weighing in at a mere 99 grams, the Nitro2 front hub is a lightweight masterpiece that doesn´t compromise on strength or reliability, making it the ultimate choice for cyclists seeking to upgrade their wheelset for peak performance and a superior ride quality.
