We decided early on in the development stage of the FRX5 series wheels that it was important to select the right hub manufacturer to partner with. Our goal was to match the right hubs to our wheels to complement the performance and durability of the FRX5.
Our research trail led us straight to DT Swiss where we quickly identified the 440 disc freeride hubs as a promising match. Discussions at Whistlers Crankworx festival strengthened our alliance and the rest is history.
DT Swiss's global reputation in the bicycle industry and their patented Star Ratchet Drive System were compelling reasons that contributed to our final decision. The fact that their top-end hubs are recognized for exceptional performance, durability, reliability and low maintenance helped us conclude that we would partner with DT Swiss for our FRX5 wheels.
