TRIPEL MTB HUBS

Mountain Biking places special demands on a hub set. The terrain and ground conditions can change dozens of times within a few hundred feet. Rides can have rock gardens, drops, crazy single trail. . . .anybody else having the urge to go ride right now?

Couple all of this with the move to a 1X drivetrain, and it takes a special hub to handle all of this and perform well.

Quick Engagement 

The Tripel hubs have a massive 102 teeth on the driver ring! With all 6 pawls engaging at the same time, this makes a very snappy 3.5 degrees of engagement. For mountain biking, quick engagement can be the difference between making it over that rock garden or having to do the walk of shame!

Low Drag 

With the popularity of super quick engagement on MTB hubs, one thing has been a constant. . . high drag!
 With the beefed up axle, combined with the geometry of the pawls and leaf springs pressing on the pawls, we have been able to design a hub with amazingly quick engagement, yet no drag when you are coasting.

Torque Demands 

Most people running a 1X system are using a minimum of a 46 tooth for the top gear on their cassette. It's more and more common to see 50 and 51 teeth cassettes out on the trail.
With 6 pawls all engaging at the same time, and 3 points on each pawl, you have 18 points of contact at all times. Combined with a beefy 17mm axle, the Tripel hub is designed to thrive under the high torque demands of today's modern mountain bikes

Centerlock

All of our disc brake hubs are centerlock. It's simply a better way to attach a rotor, including in the mountain bike world. Set the rotor in seconds, not minutes. Don't worry about individually torqueing down 6 separate tiny bolts.

Swappable End Caps and Freehub Bodies

We learned a lot from the popularity of our Quest Disc brake hubs. The number one thing? People like simplicity and tool free assembly! The Tripel hubs feature press-fit end caps and a freehub body that can be swapped over by hand. Cleaning your hub, swapping end caps, or changing you freehub body? Do this in seconds with no tools required. Spend more time on the trails, not searching for that Allen wrench you misplaced!

Bike Compatibility

The Tripel hubs are available in tradition "non-Boost" spacing. This means if you have an older model mountain bike that you want to modernize with an ultra premium hub set, the Tripel hubs will work for you. There is even a QR option available for those who need it.

The vast majority of mountain bikes feature Boost spacing of 15x110 front and 12x148 rear. The Tripel Boost hubs work perfectly to upgrade those bikes.

Finally, certain bike brands (mainly Pivot) have adopted a "Super Boost" rear hub. This is a 12x157mm rear that takes a special hub. We have the Tripel rear hubs available in this 12x157 configuration. Super Boost equipped bikes will have a standard Boost (15x110) front fork and hub.

You CAN NOT run a Boost Spaced hub on a standard frame and you CAN NOT run a Non-Boost hub on a Boost Spaced Frame. Please re-read this paragraph 5 times!!
