There’s a few companies doing similar engagement systems including Soul Kozak, Tune and Extralite. This one is different to DT Swiss’ one difference being that instead of two plates one is integrated into the free-hub body. I’m not going to venture into what this might mean to a patent lawyer but I’m sure Extralite is legally covered, however that might be.

I`ve used to use Extralite products, and to be honest, waiting for new HyperHubs since beg of summer.
Do you know, by chance, either the bearings are ceramic, by default or not?
Thanks.
Have a nice day.
Peter, Slovakia
