Main Features
* Modern Drivetrain Compatibility: Featuring the innovative MICRO SPLINE freehub body, this hub is specifically designed to accommodate SHIMANO 12-speed cassettes. This advanced interface allows for the use of a 10-tooth small cog, enabling a wider gear range for tackling steeper climbs and faster descents.
* Secure and Convenient Disc Brake Mounting: Equipped with the SHIMANO CENTER LOCK system, mounting a disc brake rotor is faster and easier than ever. The splined mount and lock ring design provide a secure, stiff connection for powerful and consistent braking performance while maintaining a clean and streamlined appearance.
* Enhanced Wheel Stiffness and Strength: Built around the modern 148mm Boost O.L.D. standard, this hub creates a wider bracing angle for the spokes. This results in a significantly stronger, stiffer, and more responsive wheel, improving overall handling precision and control on technical terrain.
* Proven Durability and Serviceability: The hub utilizes Shimano´s classic Cup & Cone bearing system. This design is renowned for its ability to more effectively displace angular and radial loads than sealed cartridge bearings, leading to exceptional rotational smoothness and superior durability. Furthermore, these bearings are fully serviceable, allowing for easy adjustment and maintenance to ensure peak performance for years.
* Superior All-Weather Protection: High-quality labyrinth and contact sealing create a formidable barrier against the elements. This sophisticated sealing system effectively prevents the intrusion of contaminants, safeguarding the bearings and internal components for reliable function in all riding conditions.
