Description
The Race Face 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 and a choice of Shimano or XD cassette bodies. The oversized hub shell boosts torsional and lateral stiffness, and the 6902 bearings, known for their large ball diameter and durability, are used. A 60 - tooth drive ring engages six double - tooth pawls, achieving 3° engagement for almost instant power transfer. The wide bearing placement reduces bearing load, extending the hub's lifespan. Low - drag labyrinth seals protect the internals. With tool - free endcap swaps, this hub not only moves quickly but can adapt fast too. It's J - Bend spoke compatible. You can choose between Shimano or XD cassette bodies. There are 6 pawls with 2 teeth each, giving 120 points for 3° of engagement. It's built for XC, Trail, Enduro, and DH. Rear hub options include 12X148 BOOST, 12X150, 12X157, 12X142, 12X135, 10X135QR, and it weighs 305 grams for the rear.
Using your Race Face Vault hub is easy. First, choose the right axle standard and cassette body for your bike. If you need to swap the endcaps, it can be done without tools. When riding, you'll enjoy the near - instant power transfer thanks to the 3° engagement. Just pedal, and the hub will respond quickly. As for maintenance, keep the hub clean. After a muddy ride, rinse it gently with water. Avoid using high - pressure water as it might damage the labyrinth seals. Check the bearings regularly for smooth rotation. If you notice any unusual noises or roughness, it might be time to have them serviced. Also, make sure the spoke tension is even to keep the wheel in good shape. With proper care, your Race Face Vault hub will serve you well for a long time.
