New Nukeproof Horizon Pro Hub:
At The Heart Of The Horizon Pro Is An All-New Hub Housing A 54T Engagement Ratchet Mechanism. Why Move To A Ratchet? Because The Compact Dimensions Of The Ratchet System Allow For Reduction And Optimisation Of The Overall Hub Dimension. Thus, Saving Weight And Offering A Rapid And Smooth Engagement And Lost Energy Through Drag In The Hub.
To Further Reduce The Overall Dimensions Of The Hub, Double Butted Straight Pull Spokes (2.0Mm-1.8Mm-2.0Mm) Are Used. These Spokes Allow Further Optimising Of The Hub Shell Dimensions By Machining Any Unrequired Material.
With The Ratchet System, Engagement Of Each Tooth Is Simultaneous, Distributing The Force Across A Larger Surface Area Evenly. This Reduces Wear And Ensures Reliability.
The Result Is A Sleek Shell Looks Sunning And Hugs The New Internals But Is Strong And Reliable. The Rear Hub Is Fully Serviceable With All Spares Available.
