Micro is Tune’s new entry-level model in the colourful world of lightweight MTB hubs, made in Germany. In doing so, they have not only paid attention to lightness, but also to durability and longevity. The hub set has been built to be as light as technically possible without negatively affecting durability. The result is a hub set that is worth seeing.

At only 374 grams, Micro is very light and yet robust in the set. Tune has also revised the freewheel: It claims to be more stable with significantly more detent points, 138 to be exact.

Whether trails or forest highways – Micro can do both. With its J-bend flanges, it is particularly stable and yet lightweight. Bearing rear hub: 4x industrial bearings (2x 61803-2RS, 1x 61903-2RS, 1×61803-full ball), front: 2 x ball bearings ABEC5 17x26x5 (Standard Bearings).

As always with Tune: this set is made by hand in Germany. Available in black, red or silver. Price for the set: € 660*. More information: https://www.tune.de/de_DE/products/micro_boost_6b_hinterradnabe
