Microspline Freehub

No, this freehub is specifically designed for the Shimano Microspline standard. It will not work with SRAM XD or standard HG cassettes, so ensure your cassette is Microspline-compatible before purchasing.

This freehub is engineered for specific Scott bicycle hubs with a 12mm axle diameter. It is not a universal part, so you should verify your current hub model and axle specifications to ensure a proper fit.

While the aluminum alloy keeps the weight down to 90 grams, it is durable enough for standard mountain biking use. However, it is important to ensure your cassette lockring is torqued correctly to prevent the cassette splines from digging into the aluminum body.

The bolt-on design makes installation straightforward, but you will need basic bike maintenance tools, such as a cassette tool and a torque wrench, to secure the assembly properly. If you are not comfortable working with hub internals, a local shop can handle the swap quickly.

You need this component if you are upgrading your drivetrain to a modern Shimano 12-speed system. The Microspline interface is required to accommodate the smaller 10-tooth cog found on these cassettes, which standard freehubs cannot support.
