KHEbikes is proud to present its new GREYHOUND freecoaster hub line. Using all our experience and feedback from many riders, we decided to review our freecoaster line. Keeping it safe and simple, we mixed parts in which we can trust in order to offer you the best freecoasters possible. The new hubs line has been built around a careful selection of parts that has been optimised for years. With a Geisha Light hub body, REVERSE driver and ACB bearings, we combined the best of our freecoaster history and added 2 female axle options.

In the works for more than 18 months, different axle configurations have been tested by riders worldwide including Timm Wiegmann, Moe Ishuayed, Pete Sawyer and Charlie Crumlish. Some of them are still running their prototypes; some other asked their own sponsor to make a similar freecoaster for themselves…

Three different axle configurations have been chosen. All hubs share the same construction; only the axles are different and can be upgraded if needed

+ GREYHOUND FLAT freecoaster - 110mm alloy female axle –

the lightest freecoaster available - flatland specific – weight: 508g (including bolts)

+ GREYHOUND STREET freecoaster - 118mm CrMo female axle – axle sits in the dropout in order to offer more support - for street use– weight: 574g (including bolts)

+ GREYHOUND ADJUSTABLE freecoaster - 14mm hollow CrMo axle – with patented adjustable gap axle - for heavy peg use – weight: 626g (including nuts)

NEW GREYHOUND CASSETTE HUB AND FRONT HUB SOON TO BE PRESENTED
