The Kong MTB XC hub has been Tune´s best seller for disc brakes for years with an excellent price/performance ratio. Whether for MTB or Crosscountry, with the Kong MTB XC you get a stable, light, flexible and high-quality product.

For all who want it uncomplicated. You want to retrofit? Sure thing. Thanks to the 17mm axle system, you can quickly convert them to the desired axle standards. Stability and strength is assured, because the hub body is made of “aviation” aluminium. This type of material has been used successfully in aviation for years and convinces with its high strength. The Kong Boost differs a lot from the normal Kong with 142mm width. The new Boost standard offers wider hub bodies and axles. The flange distance is increased for this hub. Thereby stiffer wheelsets can be build, especially noticeable for 29er. One point of critics for bigger wheels was the poor stiffness. With the larger hub spacing of the Boost standard it is possible to realize 29er wheels that are on one level with 26 inch wheels!

Version with Standard Bearings:

The STANDARD precision bearings from TUne use a special bearing grease. They have been tried and tested for over 25 years and have an excellent price/performance ratio. The steel ball bearings are distinguished by their excellent durability. A standard nylon seal makes them insensitive to most weather conditions.
