Hubs:
At Superstar Components we always strive for better, faster, stronger. While the hubsets we imported from our original suppliers over the last ten years were OK, we still tweaked the designs over the years and introduced the highest quality bearings from SKF to make them stand out from the competition. But they just could not provide what we needed so we decided to bring all hub production inhouse. So after several years of designing, testing and huge investment in the highest quality CNC machines we are launching our own hubs, made with no compromises.
The V6 range of hubs are the perfect balance of strength, weight and performance for the latest disc equipped bikes. Designed with durability in mind, the oversize axle and large PCD flanges give better spoke angles than lesser hubsets for stiffer and stronger wheel builds. Easy change adaptors and huge 17mm rear axles for superior performance. 6 pawl high speed pickup design for lightning fast reactions, alternating sets of 3 give duarability and 54 engagments per rotation.
We have added in all the features we desired for the perfect hub. Custom seals, Custom bearings, oversize axles, oversize flanges, extra detailed machining all add upto the ultimate hubset. As we are producing these by the thousand we can offer market leading quality for a reasonable price, with long term spares backup direct from the manufacturer.

All Superstar wheels are custom built to your specifications. For example if you choose BOOST adaptors it will be built on a BOOST hub and it is not possible to change to non-boost once built.

DHX - 30mm internal width - Unashamed trail crusher, if you need to ask the weight its not for you!
Wheelset Weight:
DHX Pro - 27.5" - Pair 2400g
Note: Weights are generated by weighing a randomly selected wheelset
with freehub and adaptors fitted. Due to the manufacturing process
components parts vary, so this value is to be taken as guide not a
guarantee. Our values are not to be confused with "optimistic"
theoretical weights some manufactures claim which are often hundreds of
grams understated.
Our wheels are focused on durability and long life, not weight weenie
gram chasing. Sure we could easily save 100g a wheelset by putting tiny
thin section bearings which don't last in our hubs but that's not upto
the quality we require. If you want crazy light and unusable products we
cannot help sorry.

I ride predominantly on terrain littered with rocks and roots and at 105kg I'm a heavier but aggressive rider. They offer the solid and predictable feel that I'd expect with a far more expensive wheelset. The hub engages well and sounds really good. I
