Tune XX1 Compatible Freehub

SRAM has created a good deal of interest with their new XX1 drivechain. Aside from the high-end pricing, one of the main hurdles for potential XX1 customers is the special freehub body that’s required to run the 11-speed cassette. Thankfully, many hub manufacturers have been able to design new freehubs to suit, making the swap to 11-speed a relatively simple process. German brand Tune has just released an XX1-compatible freehub to suit their Kong and Prince hubs. It fits the newer generation hubs that run a 17mm axle with a blue freehub body (it’s not compatible with the older 15mm axle/red freehub models). They also make a lighter version for their uber-special Skyline hubs. The kit sells for $215 and includes the freewheel body, freehub bearings and shims to fine-tune the bearing preload if required.
