Excess Exe CL Pro 36H Rear Hub

Product Overview The Excess Exe CL Pro is a 36-hole rear hub engineered for gate-start racing and high-torque applications. The 3-pawl, 5-fin engagement system locks into a 120-ratchet outer ring, delivering crisp power transfer and maximum engagement points for consistent, hard launches. Four sealed bearings and an alloy axle provide durability and low friction. The "CL" designation indicates center-lock disc brake compatibility for modern hydraulic or mechanical disc setups.

Key Features

• 3-Pawl with 5-Fin Engagement System – Each pawl features 5 fins that engage the 120-ratchet outer ring, multiplying contact points and reducing slippage during acceleration; ideal for gate starts and high-torque pedaling
• 120-Ratchet Cutter Ring – High ratchet count delivers immediate engagement with minimal freewheeling lag; essential for competitive racing where split-second power application matters
• Four Sealed Bearings – Sealed cartridge bearings eliminate water and dirt ingress, reducing maintenance and extending service life; lower friction than loose-ball bearings
• Alloy Axle – Lightweight construction reduces unsprung weight without sacrificing strength; resists corrosion better than steel
• 3/8" Bolts with Alloy CNC Caps – Oversized bolt format ensures secure wheel retention on racing bikes; CNC-machined caps provide clean, professional appearance
• Center-Lock Disc Adapter Ready – Supplied alloy lock ring can be removed and replaced with a center-lock disc adapter (sold separately) for direct disc brake integration; eliminates rotor-to-cog clearance issues on tight rear ends
• Dual Driver Spacers – Cr-Mo 1mm and 0.5mm spacers tune engagement geometry and accommodate different cog thickness variations
• Alloy Lock Ring – Secure cog retention without stripping; lighter than steel alternatives
