EXTRALITE hub set HyperSmart 3+ Straightpull 6-hole | Limited Edition Purple-Blue | Shimano HG
The origin of colors that flow smoothly into one another can be found in nature itself - in the gentle course of a sunrise, in the play of light on water or in the shimmering color change of a sky between day and night. The transition from violet to cyan in particular stands for change, lightness and depth at the same time. While purple has always been a symbol of individuality and expressiveness, blue embodies calm, clarity and technical precision.
In this limited edition, both worlds merge into a harmonious color gradient that is not only visually fascinating, but also reflects the philosophy of modern high-end components: maximum lightness meets extraordinary color design.
Manufactured exclusively for R2BIKE and strictly limited, the Purple-Blue special edition is a real statement for all those who not only want to ride performance, but also want to show it off.
HyperSmart 3+
The ultra-light Extralite HyperSmart 3+ step into the limelight like a precisely milled work of art from Italy. The one-piece hub body is made from high-strength 7075TX aluminum and is shaped using state-of-the-art CNC technology. This material, a refined version of the 7075 alloy, has its origins in the aerospace industry, where hardness and durability are required under extreme conditions. Here it combines minimal weight with impressive strength, creating the basis for maximum structural integrity.
Smooth, controlled running unfolds in the center of the hub. Double-sealed stainless steel bearings rotate smoothly on a 17 millimeter thick aluminium axle. The axial play can be precisely adjusted with a fine touch using the micro-tuner, so that even the smallest movements and vibrations are consistently prevented.
There is more than just a detail behind the plus in the name. The revised spoke holder in straight-pull design sets new standards in adaptability. 3D angled holes with seamless, smoothly rounded transitions create a direct fit for a wide variety of spoke types, from ultra-light textile and stiff carbon spokes to classic steel and stainless steel versions. At the same time, optimized spoke curvature, improved tension distribution and precise alignment to the rim ensure maximum efficiency and stability.
An ingenious toothed pulley system made of hard-coated aluminum works on the inside for propulsion. Instead of classic pawls, two finely toothed disks interlock and slide against each other. As soon as power is applied to the pedal, the 48 teeth of both pulleys interlock and transmit the energy directly and reliably to the rear wheel.
With a weight of 220 grams, the hub set is one of the lightest pairs of hubs currently available for purchase. Elaborate computer simulations, countless prototypes and a long test phase under the toughest conditions guarantee a long service life. All Extralite hubs are manufactured in Italy with high precision and creative passion and stand for outstanding performance, exceptional lightness and a quality of workmanship that is second to none.
