Description
Get ready to experience the super - fast engagement of Race Face's Vault hub, now perfect for custom wheel builds. Whether you need Boost or non - Boost, it offers multiple axle standards and comes with either Shimano or XD cassette bodies. The oversized hub shell ramps up torsional and lateral stiffness, and the proven 6902 bearings are chosen for their large ball diameter and long - lasting durability. With a 60 - tooth drive ring engaging six double - tooth pawls, you get a 3° engagement for almost instant power transfer. The wide bearing placement reduces the load on the bearings, increasing their lifespan. Low - drag labyrinth seals are specially designed to protect the internals. And with tool - free endcap swaps, this hub not only moves quickly but also adapts fast. It's J - Bend spoke compatible, offers Boost and non - Boost options, has a choice of Shimano or XD cassette body, 6 two - tooth pawls, 120 points for 3° of engagement, and tool - free end caps. Built for XC, Trail, Enduro, and DH cycling. Rear hub options include 12X148 BOOST, 12X150, 12X157, 12X142, 12X135, 10X135QR, and it weighs 305 grams at the rear.
Using your Race Face Vault R hub is a breeze. First, choose the right axle standard and cassette body (Shimano or XD) according to your bike setup. When installing, make sure to align the hub properly with the wheel and spokes. Remember, it's J - Bend spoke compatible. For daily use, this hub is great for XC, Trail, Enduro, and DH cycling. Keep an eye on the bearings. Since the wide bearing placement is designed to reduce load, they should last a long time, but regular checks are still a good idea. If you need to change the endcaps, you can do it without any tools, which is really convenient. After each ride, especially in wet or dirty conditions, clean the hub with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the low - drag labyrinth seals that protect the internals. If you notice any unusual noises or decreased performance, it might be time to take it to a professional bike mechanic for a more in - depth check.
