    his is a light road straight pull offering from Bitex machined out of the superior Aluminum 7075 alloy
    .
    1. It uses a simple easy to service design.
    2. It uses a light-weight Al 7075 Freehub which uses the Bitex patented 6 pawls technology working in 2 sets of 3 with an angle
    offset between the two sets to deliver 48 engagement points per rotation for rapid re-engagement from freewheeling.
    3. For the Shimano 10/11s HG compatible free-hub, the light aluminium freehub is protected by a patented thin anti-bite stainless steel strip so that your cassette cogs will not dig into the alloy, become hard to disassemble and leave ugly marks into the freehub.
    4. We use high quality Taiwan made TPI steel bearings (also used by DT Swiss)
    For detailed dimensions see drawing.
    Established almost 100 years ago (1923) Bitex is a reputable manufacturer based in Taiwan who has
    been in business 10 years longer than Campagnolo (1933) and almost as long as Shimano (1921).
    Bitex offers a broad range of well designed high-quality
    hubs for almost every biking discipline.  Over the last decades,
    like other quality Taiwanese brands and OEM manufacturers (like Giant, Merida and many others),
    as
    the low-end mass bicycle parts business was moving to mainland China, Bitex moved upscale both in its own products and in the products it manufactures on an OEM basis for many well-known brand names in the bicycle industry.  Bitex uses high-quality Taiwanese made TPI bearings which are also used by several well known (and significantly more expensive) hub manufacturers.
    We are an official Bitex reseller in our region.
