Technical Innovation & Competitive Advantages

1. Revolutionary Double-Row Unequal-Position Angle Engagement Structure

Yu Hub's 216T MTB hub represents a significant breakthrough in hub technology, with its core innovation lying in the development and application of double-row unequal-position angle engagement structure.

Technical Background & Challenges: Traditional ratchet hubs commonly adopt single-row engagement structures, limited by physical space and material strength, with tooth counts typically ranging from 45T to 120T. To pursue higher sound and immediate response, many manufacturers choose to reduce tooth pitch to increase tooth count, often resulting in insufficient single-tooth bearing capacity and prone to tooth slipping, particularly in high-intensity applications like mountain biking.

Innovative Solutions: Yu Hub's engineering team, after years of development, successfully created a revolutionary structure featuring double-row upper and lower tooth arrays with unequal-position angle design. The core of this technology includes:

• Double-Layer Tooth Ring Design - Upper and lower tooth rings arranged in offset configuration, effectively utilizing vertical space
• Unequal-Position Angle Configuration - Two tooth rings adopt precisely calculated offset angles ensuring simultaneous contact engagement of multiple pawl group
• 12-Pawl Engagement System - Two groups of 6 pawls each, doubling contact area compared to traditional 3-pawl designs

Technical Advantages & Performance Enhancement:

• Four-Fold Engagement Density Improvement - Leaping from traditional 45T-120T to 216T, dramatically improving sound and immediate response
• Enhanced Torque Capacity - Multi-point contact design distributes instantaneous torque across more contact points, improving overall load capacity
• Superior Fatigue Resistance - Torque capacity of 190Nm passes 100,000 cycles fatigue testing; maximum torque capacity of 250Nm also achieves 100,000 cycles fatigue test capability
• Optimized Structural Stability - 54T internal tooth ring with compact design enhances performance while ensuring structural strength
• Practical Improvements - Under mountain bike intensive pedaling conditions, provides more stable power transmission and usage safety

2. Industrial Application of MIM Metal Injection Molding Technology

Yu Hub pioneered the introduction of MIM (Metal Injection Molding) technology in the industry, revolutionizing manufacturing processes while delivering significant commercial value to customers.

Traditional Process Limitations: Traditional hub manufacturing employs mechanical machining requiring multiple processes: blank cutting → rough machining → precision machining → heat treatment → surface treatment → assembly. This lengthy process not only consumes time but also generates high material waste, lacking flexibility for small-batch, high-variety market demands.

MIM Technology Innovation Application: MIM technology combines the design flexibility of plastic injection molding with the material characteristics of powder metallurgy, enabling one-step formation of complex three-dimensional structures. Yu Hub applies this technology to tooth ring and pawl manufacturing, achieving the following breakthroughs:

Process Innovation Results:

• Integrated Forming - Designing originally multi-component internal tooth rings as integrated formations, reducing assembly errors
• Complex Geometry Realization - Manufacturing complex internal structures difficult to achieve with traditional machining
• Precision Control - Sintering density reaching 95-98% of theoretical density, with strength between casting and forging

Commercial Value Enhancement:

• Dramatically Shortened Lead Times - Reduced from traditional 90 days to 30 days, a 60% reduction
• Lower Minimum Order Quantities - Decreased from 50,000 units to 2,000 units, significantly lowering customer procurement barriers
• Optimized Cost-Effectiveness - Reduced machining processes, lowering labor costs and equipment depreciation
• Increased Design Flexibility - Supporting rapid prototyping, accelerating new product development cycles

3. Green Manufacturing & Sustainable Development

Yu Hub actively responds to global sustainability trends, deeply integrating environmental concepts into corporate operations and production processes.

Low-Carbon Process Technology: MIM technology demonstrates significant environmental advantages compared to traditional machining:

• Improved Material Utilization - 29% material savings, dramatically reducing metal waste generation
• Optimized Energy Efficiency - Integrated forming reduces multiple processes, lowering overall energy consumption
• Waste Recycling - MIM process waste can be recycled and reused, creating circular economy

Carbon Footprint Reduction Results: Certified by professional institutions, Yu Hub's MIM processes can reduce carbon emissions by over 51.4 tons CO2e annually. This achievement not only demonstrates the company's environmental commitment but also provides customers with products more aligned with ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) standards.

Sustainable Development Strategy:

• Green Supply Chain Construction - Collaborating with suppliers to promote environmental materials and green logistics
• Waste Reduction Programs - Implementing comprehensive waste classification and recycling mechanisms
