H_Ratchet UD SL Hubs

Providing strength and enhanced power transfer, meaning more of your power pushing you forwards. 40-tooth ratchet drive offers 9-degree engagement with pop out end caps for easy serviceability and a drilled out high-strength axle and freehub body (Shimano HG) for further weight reduction.
