Bicycle Hubs: Rollingstar II

The Rollingstar is NEXTIE's first bicycle hub, specially designed for carbon fiber bicycle racing.

NEXTIE has been committed to promoting the development of the bicycle industry. While we are making carbon fiber bicycle rims one of the best in the bicycle industry, we realized that the performance of bicycle wheels does not only depend on the rim itself, but also the core component of the wheelset, the hub. plays an extremely important role. The price of the high-end hubs we know so far has gone up, and the quality of the low-end hubs is not very reliable. So we decided to develop this core component ourselves to meet the market's demand for high-quality and affordable hubs, so our Rollingstar hubs came into being.

In 2022 we developed the first generation of Rollingstar hubs. The Rollingstar is designed to build durable and reliable hubs. After nearly half a year of quality inspection over various hubs, research on the performance of materials used in various hub components, forward-looking analysis to improve riding experience, and countless repeated performance tests on the Rollingstar hubs, we finally completed the works. Since performance was our primary concern, we didn't compromise too much on weight. The first generation of Rollingstar is heavy, with a set weighing about 378g. 

After a full year of refining in 2023, we developed the second generation of the new Rollingstar hub. The new hub not only has a significant improvement in weight, less than 300g, but also has a significant improvement in performance, especially the ratchets. We tried no less than 20 different materials for testing within a year, and finally decided on the current material. The precision, hardness and weight of the new alloy material are optimized, and after 100,000 rotation tests, it has been found to be durable. Based on new materials and appearance design of Rollingstar II, we developed two types of bicycle hubs, for mountain bicycle and road bicycle.

The launch of the Rollingstar hub provides our cyclists with a brand new choice, which has advantages in both performance and price.
