Each hub model features optimized weight, high rolling efficiency, prolonged bearing life, and immediate, zero flex engagement tailored to suit their intended riding applications. Available in 24 hole count only.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis result is a balanced hub optimised for pure performance and extreme durability, with a lightweight, beautifully machined hub shell that is easy to service and configure to suit a wide range of rider preferences. The Innerdrive internals feature oversized 42mm diameter steel ratchets and Perfect Preload for low rolling resistance and prolonged bearing life. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOur hubs are precision engineered and machined at Wolf Tooth HQ to be at the heart of road, gravel, and MTB riders' next high performance wheel build. Wolf Tooth Hubs are backed by Right To Repair, with service kits and parts available, and come with a 5-Year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDEVELOPMENT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOur overarching goal when we began the hub development process was balance. We began by establishing what attributes make a great hub:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eRolling Efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eBearing and Hub Shell Durability\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eOptimized Weight\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eEase of Service\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eOptions and Compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOur next step was ride testing in all five Minnesota seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Salt Season (IYKYK). We benchmarked the performance of what was available in the market, including specialty hubs designed for more niche applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWe saw tradeoffs in designs that had an imbalance in our benchmark criteria. If a hub is too light you begin to impact axle, drive system, and hub shell durability. Certain drive systems can reduce bearing life, and how easy is a hub to live with and service? With this data, we were able to see a clear path forward. Once we had established a clear benchmark, we set to engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWe discovered that the \u003cstrong\u003eENVE Innerdrive System\u003c\/strong\u003e not only hit our benchmark targets, it excelled in each category and gave us the balance we were looking for. At this point, we utilised our network of ride testers and athletes around the world to pressure test and fine tune our design. The result is a \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced hub\u003c\/strong\u003e that is \u003cstrong\u003eoptimised for pure performance \u003c\/strong\u003eand\u003cstrong\u003e extreme durability\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a beautifully machined hub shell that is \u003cstrong\u003eeasy to service\u003c\/strong\u003e and configure to suit a wide range of rider preferences. The \u003cstrong\u003eInnerdrive\u003c\/strong\u003e internals provide \u003cstrong\u003ehigh rolling efficiency, prolonged bearing life, \u003c\/strong\u003eand\u003cstrong\u003e immediate, zero flex engagement\u003c\/strong\u003e. Our hubs are precision engineered and machined at Wolf Tooth HQ.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOPTIMISED PERFORMANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePerfect Preload\u003c\/strong\u003e system eliminates the need for bearing preload adjustments using a tuned wave washer. Bearing preload is optimized and set during hub assembly (and during repeat tear down and re-assembly during service) and dynamically adjusts over the life of the hub. Simply torque the hub to spec. No special tools required.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eoversized Innerdrive ratchet rings\u003c\/strong\u003e found inside Wolf Tooth Hubs provide numerous benefits over traditional ratchet style hubs. The larger 42mm diameter drive rings allow for higher engagement tooth counts without sacrificing durability. This is paired with the \u003cstrong\u003ePerfect Preload\u003c\/strong\u003e system which delivers tool-free, adjustment-free preload on the hub internals for prolonged bearing life, minimal maintenance, and reduced drag.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e40T PRO Ratchet:\u003c\/strong\u003e To reduce drag and save weight, the standard ratchet’s diameter is reduced, and additional material is milled out. Additionally, a custom ratchet spring applies a minimal amount of force to deliver reliable ratchet engagement with minimal ratchet drag. The \u003cstrong\u003e40T PRO ratchet\u003c\/strong\u003e is only available in our road and gravel hubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWolf Tooth Hubs require \u003cstrong\u003eno special tools\u003c\/strong\u003e for maintenance, and our refined hub geometry incorporates many features that make living with and servicing our hubs easy. Standardised bearing sizes are used across front and rear hubs. Riders can quickly and easily swap ratchets for customised engagement, and a circlip holds the oversized steel ratchets in place ensuring your freehub and ratchets won't fall out during trailside or shop maintenance. There is no manually set preload, simply torque the end cap to spec and perfect preload is set, every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg title=\"2026_WT_HUBS_ROAD\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wideopen.co.nz\/content\/4138p7.jpg\" alt=\"2026_WT_HUBS_ROAD\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1250\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr style=\"height: 1px;\" size=\"1\"\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWEIGHT:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front: 110g | Rear: 216g - 228g, dependant on driver \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDRIVER OPTIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e XD, Micro Spline, HG\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAXLE SPACING:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front 12 x 100mm | Rear 12 x 142mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRATCHET:\u003c\/strong\u003e ENVE Innerdrive PRO 40T count - 9° Engagement\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"WOLF TOOTH","offers":[{"title":"Front Hub - Road CL - 12x100mm 24H Straight Pull - Black | WTHFS24-12100-BLK","offer_id":67582532911254,"sku":"WOPEN-WTHFS24-12100-BLK","price":470.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Rear Hub - Road CL - HG - 12x142mm 24H Straight Pull 40T - Black | WTHRS24-242-HG40-BLK","offer_id":67582532944022,"sku":"WOPEN-WTHRS24-242-HG40-BLK","price":960.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Rear Hub - Road CL - MS - 12x142mm 24H Straight Pull 40T - Black | WTHRS24-242-MS40-BLK","offer_id":67582532976790,"sku":"WOPEN-WTHRS24-242-MS40-BLK","price":960.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Rear Hub - Road CL - XDR - 12x142mm 24H Straight Pull 40T - Black | WTHRS24-242-XR40-BLK","offer_id":67582533009558,"sku":"WOPEN-WTHRS24-242-XR40-BLK","price":960.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/7845\/1350\/files\/6235p14.jpg?v=1791577540","url":"https:\/\/cycleworx.co.nz\/products\/wolf-tooth-road-and-gravel-hubs-straight-pull-black","provider":"CycleWorx NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
