The Hybrid System is a We Make Things Product

From the innovative masterminds at We Make Things, we are now introduced to "The Hybrid System". Just that, a hybrid rear hub that combines a cassette with a freecoaster in one simplified, lightweight and functional unit. What's more, the Hybrid is being liscensed to various brands for use: Animal, Cult, Eclat, WeThePeople and for dirt jumper applications, Radio.

"The HYBRID SYSTEM is a superior functioning Freecoaster Hub system with all the weight, durability and functional benefits of a Cassette Hub. Designed and developed in Cologne, Germany alongside such brands as Wethepeople, éclat and Radio Bikes, instead of the heavy and unreliable clutch style mechanism most Freecoasters Hubs use, the HYBRID SYSTEM is based on the principle of a Cassette Hub with a few small changes to make it work as an incredibly dependable and highly functional Freecoaster Hub.

The HYBRID Freecoaster SYSTEM utilises a patented “Double Slack” internals which allows the hub to have a much larger (and adjustable) slack setting than any cassette-based Freecoaster system before it. Combined with our “MagnaDrive” magnetic powered driver for superior pawl retention, our wave spring friction system and a super durable 14mm heat-treated axle, the HYBRID SYSTEM is a no-nonsense, hassle-free Freecoaster hub, designed to be tightened up and ridden without any need to adjust or fine tune.

Tested for years and approved by some the biggest brands and PRO riders in the industry, we wanted to create a lighter, stronger, less complicated Freecoaster Hub which any rider could easily adapt to using. The HYBRID SYSTEM gets its name by easily being converted into a regular cassette hub by simply installing the cassette springs and retightening the hub. Essentially you get two hubs in one, as well as the benefit of being able to switch the hub to your preferred setting with ease."

Here are instructions that break down making the switch from freecoaster mode to cassette mode.

The Hybrid System hub wis available now.
