MICRO SPLINE

MICRO SPLINE delivers lightweight aluminum FREEHUB body to reduce weight and 10 teeth top gear.

Benefits

• Lightweight aluminum MICRO SPLINE FREEHUB seamlessly integrates with small 10-tooth top gears.
• Smaller and more widely distributed splines limit cog damage on lightweight aluminum FREEHUB.

Center Lock

• The CENTER LOCK system makes an easy rotor installation possible with spline mount and a lock ring. The lock ring mounting system reduces the total working hours by shortening the amount of time of both installation and de-installation. In addition, the secure fixing by the spline mount enhances precision and rigidity while improving braking efficiency.

E-Thru

• The tool-less type thru-axle skewer system optimizes rigidity and weight balance and enables easy operation with a reliable internal cam mechanism. The 15 mm thru-axle system is 15 % stiffer torsionally and 25 % stiffer in transverse shear than a traditional 9 mm quick release front axle system. High rigidity is secured while keeping the optimum weight balance. The E-THRU axle hub system minimizes the distortion of suspension while maintaining lightweight for riding around sharp corners at high speed.
