Profile Racing 150 x 12 Proto DH hub!
Excited to see my new hubs come in the mail today, been pushing one of my main sponsors (Profile Racing)
to bring the mtb line up to date with some new components! Starting with these 150 DH hubs that look dynamite!
Will be working on other stuff "one at a time" for the future. Looking at new 31.8 stem and a direct mount DH stem as the next project.
I'll be testing these babies and giving feedback etc. to Profile and these should be available in 09'
If you are going to Interbike they will have several in bling bling colors at the show to check out first hand.
Upon initial inspection, I see - as I expected awesome craftsmanship and probably one of the most solid DH hubs
The freehub driver is Titanium and I have ran them before and can say one of the top freehub designs out there. Really tight, close clicks with bombproof constuction made to last.
The rear hub weighs 400 grams and the front is 220 grams.
Probably one of the first things I will try to revise is loosing a couple grams.
But, Profile is about building solid, indestructable products so they weren't trying to go all weight weenie.
The hubs will feature a Titanium axle that will come with the 150 rear hub that will rival close to the weight of the Azonic Aluminum axle but, much stonger! It will also be sold separate and fit other hubs!
They weren't finished with the axle so I don't have it yet but, very soon!
Check it out and comment!
