GNARLY rear hubs are built around a 102-tooth drive system delivering just 3.5° of engagement, meaning your power reaches the trail almost instantly the moment you start pedalling.

Inside the hub, six independent pawls engage simultaneously, each with three engagement steps. Working together they create 18 engagement points per click, delivering fast pickup, reliable engagement, and consistent power transfer.

The result is a hub that feels immediate, responsive, and controlled, especially when navigating technical terrain or accelerating out of corners.

Key advantages include:

• 3.5° engagement for near-instant power transfer
  
• 6-pawl drive system engineered for strength and reliability
  
• 18 engagement points per click for consistent drive engagement
  
• Fast acceleration and improved pedal response

GNARLY rear hubs feature an oversized 17mm axle paired with oversized sealed bearings to create a stronger and more stable hub system.

This design reduces internal movement and axle flex under heavy loads, improving the durability of both the hub and the freehub mechanism.

The result is:

• Greater hub stiffness under power
  
• Reduced internal movement
  
• Longer bearing lifespan
  
• Reduced freehub wear
  

For riders pushing hard on rough terrain or high-torque climbs, this stronger hub architecture improves long-term reliability and consistent performance.

Mud, dust, and water are the enemies of any hub. GNARLY hubs feature an advanced sealing system designed to protect the bearings and drive mechanism from contamination.

This improves:

• Bearing lifespan
  
• Hub reliability in harsh conditions
  
• Long-term performance
  

Whether you're riding dusty gravel roads or wet mountain bike trails, GNARLY hubs are built to keep rolling smoothly.
