PANTOUR ROAD SUSPENSION HUB
Like on marshmallow.
A similar idea appeared in the middle of the year 1990,
certainly without any real success (in fact nobody
succeeded). But here it is. How did Pantour put it
together? This version is a high-tech product
road suspension hub (front only), with the suspension
offering 10 mm of travel, to smooth the vibrations
of the road. With a total weight of only 200 g,
the Californian hub offers two surface finishes,
black and silver, 20, 28 and 32 hole and three
different elastomers (100 – 150 lb, 150 – 200 lb,
200 – 250 lb) for different rider categories.
Important detail: your rim should have around
12 mm of brake band width.
