BSD Revolution Freecoaster Hub

Unlike standard clutch-based freecoasters that rely on a heavy cone and ball system, the Revolution uses a planetary gear setup. This design is 30% lighter and eliminates the 'clunk' and lag often associated with traditional hubs, making it feel much closer to a standard cassette hub.

No. Because of the reverse-sprung driver and the planetary clutch design, the engagement is nearly instant. You get a direct, responsive feel when you pedal forward, effectively removing the gap found in older freecoaster models.

Yes. It is built with a 14mm hollow chromoly axle that is heat-treated for maximum strength. It also includes hub guards right out of the box, which are essential for protecting the shell and bearings during grinds.

Yes, the hub is compatible with both RHD and LHD setups. You will need to ensure you purchase the correct driver configuration for your current drivetrain.

The Revolution weighs in at 468g. Because it is 30% lighter than conventional freecoaster designs, you will notice a significant reduction in rotational weight, which makes the bike feel much more nimble during spins and tricks.

While the planetary system is robust, it is more complex than a standard cassette hub. It is a good idea to keep the internals clean and properly greased, especially if you do a lot of grinds, to ensure the clutch mechanism continues to engage smoothly.
