Description
Ratchet EXP Freehub Body: Precision Engineering for Modern Bikes
Optimized Compatibility
Designed exclusively for SRAM XDR and XD 11/12-speed drivetrains (cassette body type), this lightweight aluminum freehub body integrates seamlessly into 240-series hubs or compatible frames with 142mm rear spacing and 12mm thru-axle systems. Ideal for mountain bikers upgrading their rear wheel components or road cyclists seeking reliable cassette retention.
Performance Configurations
– Pro Series: Features ceramic bearings (for 180 hubs) engineered to reduce rotational friction by 30%, perfect for competitive XC riders demanding smooth power transfer
– Dura Series: Reinforced steel bearings (for 240 hubs) offering 2x longer lifespan under heavy trail use compared to standard steel variants
Key Advantages
✓ Modular design – seal integration responsibility lies with hub shell assembly
✓ Weight optimized at 85g (Pro) / 92g (Dura) without compromising structural integrity
✓ Pre-installed end cap included – saves critical assembly time during upgrades
Application Scenarios
– Enduro racers needing consistent engagement at high rpms
– Gravel adventurers requiring durable componentry across mixed terrains
– Urban commuters benefiting from low-maintenance steel bearing option
Feature Comparison | Pro Series (Ceramic) | Dura Series (Steel) |
---|---|---|
Weight Savings | Up to 15% lighter | Standard weight |
Ideal Use Case | Competitive XC | Freeride/Trail |
Bearing Maintenance Cycle | 500+ hours | 2000+ hours |
Note: Both configurations maintain identical dimensional specs for interchangeable use across compatible hubs.
Engineered to meet EN DIN standards while exceeding typical freehub torque thresholds (max load: 120kgf), this component delivers silent operation through its unique non-sealed design that prevents bearing contamination during installation.*
Perfect upgrade for Shimano/SRAM hub owners seeking improved micro-adjustment precision over OEM components.
