Tune: Centerlock arrives

When it comes to the hub portfolio, the Black Forest tuning specialist has always had one common denominator: The disc hubs are manufactured with a 6-hole mount for the brake disk. For the classic Kingkong and Kong hubs, there is now an exception to the rule: Centerlock is here to stay.

The Kingkong front hub and the Kong rear hub are disc hub classics from Tune. The epicenter wheel is now available with a Centerlock mount at the front and rear. Gravel bikes and disc road bikes are a perfect fit, as the 24 and 28 hole numbers and the installation widths of 100 and 142 millimetres speak for themselves. However, these hubs also cut a fine figure on lightweight hardtail bikes that are already a few years old.

As you would expect from Tune, the weights are sensational: the front hub weighs a mere 112 grams, thanks to an aluminum hub shell, while titanium is used for the gearing and rear pawls. The rear hub is also record-breakingly light at 206 grams. If you want to play with colors, Tune is of course the right choice, with a choice of anodized colors and white.

Tune says the following about the switch to Centerlock: "The Centerlock mount offers quick and easy brake rotor installation, with an attractive transition that is easy to clean. The brake rotor and hub become visually one unit."
