Similar to DT Swiss, I do believe they have a 12-speed freehub upgrade in the works so you can use 12s microspline cassettes when they appear on road etc. Do note that in order to have a 15mm thru-front, you'll be using their MTB hub which is a bit chunkier than their CX/road hubs...and might stretch magnetless-speed-sensors rubber bands to/beyond their limit....so you get creative.


Totally worth it in my book. Then again I work in music all day, and want to get away from noise.
Thanks. I value quietness also. My bike has ⌀12mm front & rear so I'm good there. And I ride mostly on near empty roads in the middle of nowhere. More cattle and western diamondbacks than humans

Although I don't need new wheels, it sure is tempting.
