Race Face Hub Vault R 12X142 421J 32H Shimano Black

Race Face's Vault hub offers super - fast engagement and is perfect for custom wheel builds. It comes in both Boost and non - Boost options, with multiple axle standards. You can choose between Shimano or XD cassette bodies. The oversized hub shell boosts torsional and lateral stiffness, and the 6902 bearings are super durable. With a 60 - tooth drive ring engaging six double - tooth pawls, it provides 3° engagement for almost instant power transfer. The wide bearing placement reduces bearing load and extends lifespan. Low - drag labyrinth seals protect the internals. It also features tool - free endcap swaps, so it's not only fast but adaptable. It's J - Bend spoke compatible, built for XC/Trail/Enduro/DH, and weighs 305 grams for the rear hub.

Using the Race Face Vault hub is straightforward. First, choose the right axle standard and cassette body (Shimano or XD) according to your bike's needs. If you need to change the endcaps, it's easy as it's tool - free. When installing the hub on your wheel, make sure it's properly aligned. For maintenance, regularly check the bearings for smooth rotation. Clean the hub regularly, especially after riding in dirty or wet conditions. Wipe off any dirt or debris from the labyrinth seals. If you notice any unusual noises or reduced performance, it might be time to have the bearings inspected or replaced. Remember to follow the safety instructions provided by your bike manufacturer when using the hub.
