By replacing traditional pawl mechanisms with a ratchet style engagement system, DIRECT ENGAGEMENT increases contact area inside the hub. The result is greater drive rigidity, reduced flex under load, and a far more direct transfer of power when you accelerate.
What you feel on the ride:
- Immediate engagement when you start pedaling
-Firmer, more responsive acceleration under high torque
-Stable, confident drive feel when sprinting or climbing
-Smooth, refined operation with a premium hub feel
