Description
Race Face's Vault hub offers super - fast engagement, now perfect for custom wheel building. It comes in both Boost and non - Boost options, with multiple axle standards and a choice between Shimano or XD cassette bodies. The oversized hub shell boosts torsional and lateral stiffness, and the 6902 bearings are chosen for their large ball diameter and long - lasting durability. A 60 - tooth drive ring works with six double - tooth pawls, providing 3° engagement for almost instant power transfer. The wide bearing placement reduces the load on bearings, extending their lifespan. Low - drag labyrinth seals protect the internals. With tool - free endcap swaps, this hub not only moves quickly but also adapts easily. It's J - Bend spoke compatible. You can choose from 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 hub.
Using your Race Face Vault R hub is easy. First, choose the right axle standard and cassette body for your bike. If you want to swap the endcaps, you can do it without any tools. When riding, enjoy the near - instant power transfer provided by the 3° engagement. For maintenance, regularly check the bearings. Since the wide bearing placement reduces load, they should last a long time, but it's still a good idea to keep an eye on them. Clean the low - drag labyrinth seals gently to protect the internals. Also, make sure to check the spoke tension if you have J - Bend spokes. This hub is built for different types of riding like XC, Trail, Enduro, and DH, so it can handle a lot, but always use it within your skill level.
