Cannondale Freehub Body FH-524

This specific part, model number KP461, is engineered exclusively for select 2016 and 2017 Cannondale Habit and Trigger models. Please verify your exact bike model and year against the compatibility list before purchasing, as freehub standards vary significantly between hub manufacturers.

Yes, this is a factory-original replacement part designed to fit the specific rear hub assembly found on the compatible Cannondale models listed. It is intended to be a drop-in solution that restores the original drivetrain performance without requiring custom modifications.

You likely need a replacement if you experience slipping or hesitation when you start pedaling, a grinding noise coming from the rear hub, or if the cassette feels loose despite being tightened properly. These symptoms often indicate that the internal pawls or bearings within the freehub body have worn out.

If you have experience with hub maintenance and possess the correct tools—such as a cassette lockring tool, chain whip, and potentially a cone wrench—you can likely perform this swap yourself. However, if you are unsure about removing the axle or handling the internal pawl mechanism, a professional mechanic is recommended to ensure the hub is reassembled correctly.

Yes, this is a complete freehub body assembly. It arrives ready to install, including the internal engagement mechanism, so you do not need to source or install individual pawls or bearings separately.
