all you need is hub

well... hubs, really, front and rear...

presenting... for your viewing pleasure...


The NEW GENERATOR hubs from NUKEPROOF

The 7075 Alloy main hub body has been cold forged for optimum strength and fatigue resistance with extensive CNC machining to
shave off any unnecessary weight without compromising strength.

FRONT HUBS




The Front 20mm/QR is compatible with both 20mm through axles and 9mm QR axles and
the Front 15mm/QR is compatible with both 15mm through axles. Both models come complete with conversion kit to allow for quick changeovers between the two axle types.
These hubs are completely serviceable without the necessary use of specialist tools.

Front Hub features:
• 7075 Alloy main hub body
• 7075 Alloy sub axle
• 2 x Sealed 6805 bearings

• 32 Hole
• Width: 110mm (20mm), 100mm (15mm and QR)

• International Standard 6 bolt disc brake interface
• 67mm flange diameter
• 21.5mm Left side Centre-To-Flange diameter
• 31.5mm Right side Centre-To-Flange diameter
• 11.3mm End of axle to disc mount face (QR)

• 15.5mm End of axle to disc mount face (20mm)
• Weight: 225g
(20mm), 149g(15mm)


REAR HUBS




Both Rear 135 QR and 135 x 12mm models have been designed to fit frames with a 135mm hub spacing. Built to be strong enough for DH but still light enough for XC. This hub features a total of five sealed cartridge bearings with two on the drive side to help spread the loads of pedaling forces through the hub and one on the non-drive side with a further two in the freehub body. A low friction seal between the bearings and freehub body eliminates contamination of the bearings from ingress of water and dust.

The Rear XL 150 has been designed to fit frames with a 150mm hub spacing. Built to withstand the demands of DH racing and Freeride applications, this hub features a total of six sealed cartridge bearings, two on either side of the hub body and a further two in the freehub body to help spread the loads of high impact landings and keep these hubs running sweet.

These hubs feature 6 pawls with leaf springs which are located in the main hub body for ease of maintenance. These engage into a 30 tooth steel ratchet which is located in the Alloy freehub body for additional strength and increased leverage ratio which provides positive engagement and super fast pick up for increased acceleration.

Rear Hub features:
• 7075 Alloy main hub body
• 7075 Alloy sub axle (QR or 12mm)
• Alloy freehub body with 30T steel ratchet
• 6 Pawls with leaf springs
• 4 x Sealed 6902 & 1 x sealed 15268v bearings (135mm),
5 x Sealed 6902 & 1 x sealed 15268v bearings (150mm)
• 32 Hole
• International Standard 6 bolt disc brake interface
• Weight: 305g (QR), 300g(12mm)
330g (150mm)


Just in case you need a cheat sheet for the pop quiz, here you go!

Hubs front and rear with the following options:
Front 20mm/QR
Front 15mm/QR
Rear 135mm/12mm
Rear 150mm/12mm

All front hubs come with the corresponding converter kits so swapping from 15 or 20mm to QR and back is easy-peasy.

All hubs are available in yellow and black color options, all in 32 holes.

All bearings, freehub bodies, pawls and springs, locknuts, endcaps etc. are available should your hubs need some TLC.
