Design Considerations
The R4 is designed around an oversized ratchet ring, reducing torque on the engagement assembly & thereby improving life span.
This has the added benefit of providing space for larger bearings, which also increases time between service intervals.
The hardened steel axle gives good stiffness and longevity, while the smaller diameter of the steel axle gives more room for larger bearings in the hub body, again, increasing life.
Thread on end caps make for simple servicing and keep the freehub body securely in place when the wheel is removed.
We have a wide variety of spare parts and bearings available for the R6 so you can fully service your own equipment at home.
The exploded diagrams are also pretty helpful if you got distracted while pulling everything apart.
Hub FAQ's
Torque caps are a RockShox product that allow for greater stiffness between the front hub and fork interface. Newer RockShox forks will work with or without them.
All other fork brands will not work with Torque Caps.
If you notice any play in your wheel when your axle is tight its time to check things out. Similarly if you can hear or feel the bearings grumble when spinning, an investigation and likely fresh set of bearings would be a good move.
If you are doing a pre-season refresh or just giving your bike a thorough going over then cleaning and re greasing your freehub body is a good move, removing any contaminants and adding fresh clean grease is a good way to reduce long term wear.
When developing the new R6 front hub, we opted to use oversized bearings. Not only do they provide a longer life, but they give us enough room to use 20mm end caps.
For almost all trail and enduro bikes, your fork will have a 15x110mm axle so you can just use the standard 15mm end caps that come with the R6 front hub as standard.
However if you want to run these wheels on your DH bike, a fork like a Boxxer or Fox 40 will have a 20x110mm axle. If this is the case, you'll need to add on our 20mm end caps.
Another benefit of this is simply by changing the end caps, you can easily switch wheels between trail and DH bikes.
