When it comes to hubs, there are two schools of thought: cup-and-cone vs. sealed bearing. With cup-and-cone, the load goes straight into the bearing—direct, efficient, and built to take a beating. Sealed bearings? They spread the stress differently, which can mean less direct support where it matters most.

That’s why Shimano still swears by cup-and-cone. They’re tougher, easier to service, and built for the long haul—perfect for riders who’d rather spend their time on the track than in the shop.

Enter the DURA-ACE Track Hub set. This isn’t just another hub—it’s the gold standard. Shimano keeps producing these with the same precision that’s made them a staple in the pro scene for decades.

And this page? It’s all about the large flange option—classic look, pro-level performance, and a whole lot of style for your build.
