Vault coloured hubs are available in 32 hole Boost configurations, equipped with either Shimano or XD cassette bodies. Oversized hub shells increase torsional and lateral stiffness, and when built to our Offset Rims, provide you with the added strength and convenience of a singular spoke length. The proven 6902 bearings were selected due to their large ball diameter and durability while the wide bearing placement was designed to decrease load on the bearings for improved lifespan.

Enjoy near-instant power transfer thanks to a 60-tooth drive ring alternately engages six double tooth pawls with 3o of engagement. Low-drag labyrinth seals designed specifically for Vault hubs protect the internals. Finish it off with tool-free endcap swaps and you have a hub that not only moves faster but adapts faster.
