# What was announced Wolf Tooth Components introduced a line of aluminum hubs for road, gravel, and mountain bikes. The hubs are machined and assembled in the United States and use ENVE's Innerdrive ratchet ring system rather than a pawl-driven design. Wolf Tooth positions these hubs as durable, low‑maintenance, and easy to service.
# How the engagement system works and choices The hubs rely on ENVE's Innerdrive ratchet rings, which come in 40, 60, 80, and 100 tooth options. The 100T ratchet provides the fastest engagement listed — 3.6 degrees — while the 40T PRO option ships stock on all Wolf Tooth road/gravel hubs. Buyers choose their ratchet at checkout and can buy additional ratchets separately for $99.95.
# The hub models and specs Wolf Tooth is launching three hub variants:
- Road/Gravel: offered with the 40T PRO as the stock ratchet and aimed at road and gravel riders wanting lighter drag and lower weight.
All hubs are available in six colors at launch.
# Serviceability and internals Wolf Tooth uses standard bearing sizes across the hubs, which simplifies sourcing replacements compared with designs that use proprietary bearings. The company also includes a Perfect Preload system that provides tool‑free, adjustment‑free preload on the hub internals. That system is intended to prolong bearing life and reduce maintenance and drag.
# Pricing and availability
# What this means for riders Riders who prioritize US‑made components, straightforward serviceability, and the ability to tailor engagement via swappable ratchets will find these hubs notable. The use of standard bearings and tool‑free preload simplifies repairs and maintenance. Riders who require extremely fast engagement (sub‑1 degree) should note the listed maximum engagement of 3.6 degrees with the 100T ratchet.
# Where to buy
# Bottom line Wolf Tooth has moved into the wheel space with a US‑machined hub family that emphasizes interchangeability, standard service parts, and selectable ratchet engagement via ENVE's Innerdrive system. Pricing places the hubs solidly in the premium component segment and offers a path to complete wheel builds through established partners.
