Description
The Origin 8 Hornet 108 is a high-engagement single-speed freewheel designed for fast, immediate pickup. With 108 points of engagement, it minimizes delay between pedaling input and drive engagement.
This version is built for narrower 3/32″ chain setups commonly found on track, fixed-gear–style single-speed conversions, and some commuter single-speed bikes.
