Box Two Front Hub

Product Overview The Box Two Front Hub is a race-proven 36-hole front hub designed for modern 20mm thru-axle forks. Used by elite BMX racers including Marc Willers, Caroline Buchanan, Kurt Pickard, and the Dutch National team, the Box Two delivers proven performance at World Championships and international competition levels. The 20mm aluminum axle transmits power efficiently and reduces flex compared to smaller diameter alternatives. Cold-forged aluminum shell with precision sealed bearings ensures durability and smooth operation across competitive racing.

Key Features

• 20mm Thru-Axle Design – Premium 20mm axle transmits power more efficiently than smaller diameters; increases lateral stiffness and reduces deflection during hard acceleration and cornering
• 7075-Aluminum Axle and Axle Nuts – High-strength aerospace-grade aluminum resists bending and maintains straightness under racing loads; reduces weight compared to steel alternatives
• Cold-Forged 6061-T6 Aluminum Shell – Cold-forging increases material strength; CNC-machining ensures precision tolerances for perfect bearing alignment
• Precision Sealed Bearings – Sealed cartridge bearings eliminate water and dirt ingress; reduce maintenance and extend hub life
• 100mm Fork Spacing – Engineered for standard modern 20mm thru-axle fork designs; universal compatibility across contemporary BMX frames
• Race-Proven Performance – Two years of elite competition success including World Championships and multiple international medals validate durability and reliability
• Lightweight Design – At 234g, the Box Two delivers competitive weight for racing applications
• ENBMX Standards Compliant – Meets or exceeds international BMX racing standards for safety and performance
• Black Finish Only – Clean aesthetic with anodized protective coating
