FAQ

What drivetrains is the Black Inc Shimano HG Freehub Body compatible with?

It is compatible with Shimano HG cassettes and most SRAM cassettes that use the standard Hyperglide body, covering a wide range of road, gravel, and cross drivetrains.

Can I use this freehub body with SRAM drivetrains?

Yes, the Shimano HG interface is compatible with most SRAM cassettes that run the standard HG body, not just SRAM XDR configurations. Check your cassette spec to confirm before ordering.

What is the benefit of upgrading to CeramicSpeed bearings?

CeramicSpeed ceramic bearings offer lower rolling resistance and a smoother feel compared to stainless steel. They are sourced through Black Inc's direct CeramicSpeed partnership, matching the quality spec used in their complete wheel builds.

Best For

Road and gravel riders running Shimano HG-compatible drivetrains who want to maintain or elevate the performance of their Black Inc wheels. The CeramicSpeed bearing upgrade is especially worth it for riders who prioritize drivetrain efficiency and want every rotating contact point running at the lowest possible friction.
