How to make noisy hubs quiet

The flow is just right, the bike steers itself elegantly through berms, even the steepest sections and high steps are pure pleasure. But there's a constant buzzing noise in the back of your head, the bike draws more attention to itself than you'd like? This could be a good quality but really loud rear hub. Syntace now has a remedy.

"The snow trickles quietly..." is Syntace's slogan for the kit that allows you to trim the hubs for more quiet off-road riding. For the Sytace HiTorque M series and MX series rear hubs, there are quieter spare parts for the freewheel - also known as the body. A new toothed pulley, a special grease and a new central spring ensure less "rattling" of the body.

Syntace promises a significant reduction in sound pressure: the "Silent Kit" brings the background noise down from 77 dB to 71 dB - and 6 dB means halving the sound pressure. "Silencing the hub" is done without tools and, according to the manufacturer, in three minutes.
