How to choose the hub?
Choosing the right hub depends on your riding style, bike type, and performance needs. Focus on these 2 key factors:
1. Riding Type
Road / Gravel: Prioritize lightweight hubs with smooth rotation and efficient bearings.
Mountain / Enduro / Downhill: Choose strong, durable hubs with fast engagement (instant pickup) to handle rough terrain and immediate power transfer.
2. Hub Material & Bearings
Material:
Aluminum shell: Lightweight, performance-oriented.
Steel shell: Heavier but extremely durable – ideal for e-bikes and downhill.
Bearings:
Sealed cartridge bearings: Maintenance-free, consistent performance.
