At the heart of the Solix rear hub is a continuously-phased five-pawl freehub seamlessly integrating with a 121 tooth drive ring – offering 605 points of contact translating to an ultra-fine .59 engagement. Crafted from A2 tool steel using precision wire EDM, the pawls and drive rings are engineered for maximum durability. To bring resistance and freewheeling noise to a minimum, weve reduced the driving diameter, pawl rotation, and pawl spring pressure, and changed the FH seal layout.

• Matched hubshell bearing specs to evenly distribute loads, an updated bearing preload method to optimize performance and longevity, and freehub bearings with up to 233% higher capacity vs Torch
• The combination of endcap debris shields and new full-contact lip seals provide exceptional bearing protection in even the worst conditions
• Unique scalloped design of the hub flanges effectively distributes stress – improving strength while reducing weight
