Hubs are small but critical components of the bicycle that serve multiple purposes. Tactic Racing hubs use ABEC 7 ceramic bearings with a Tungsten Disulfide low friction coating developed for the most exacting and high performance applications including the likes of the Mars rovers.
The rear hub of a bicycle is responsible for the power transmission from the cassette to the wheel. Tactic Racing hubs use our patent-pending ConicalFace Gear system which rapidly engages and disengages the freewheel over a larger contact area than any other freewheel mechanism on the market. The design ensures that the mating components are always concentrically aligned, drastically extending component lifetime. The hubshell itself is machined as the first part of the freewheel system to help keep the number of constituent components to a minimum.
Tactic Racing hubs are designed around straight pull spokes with flanges smoothly integrated into the hubshell for stiffness and weight optimization. Disc brake hubs use external flanges with a 2-cross lacing pattern for all flanges to ensure ease of wheel building and service.
Tactic Racing hubs use an aerospace grade aluminum alloy boasting superior strength and lower weight than competing alloys. The hubshells are designed to save weight without compromising on strength with smooth and efficient lines. The result is a pair of featherweight hubshells.
Weight is achieved through material choice and product engineering, not by cutting corners in strength or impractical design. Tactic Racing hubs do not have a rider weight limit and are just as adept on pavement as off. They are high performance products that are meant to be ridden day in and day out.
