BMX Ultra gave us a killer review on our Bullitt Hub set. Check it out:
I haven’t had the chance to look at a lot of Alienation products but my first glimpse was their Ratchet hand grips, last year, and they simply blew me away. They were some of the most comfortable grips I have ever used and quite durable too. It’s obvious those guys over at Alienation put a lot of thought into their products. In today’s market it’s not enough to have “me too” products, you have to go that one step further to push the boundaries and Alienation do just that. Needless to say I was excited by the idea of reviewing the Alienation Bullitt hubs.
I have had some pretty sweet hubs on my bikes over the years, including more recently Profile and Supercross BMX, but it’s Alienation’s different approach to the mechanics behind the driver that sets these hubs apart. It’s a real advantage to be the “new kid on the block” and be able to learn from what’s already out there.
Bullitt cassette hubs have a very unique look compared to modern day hubs but are reminiscent of Son Lite Turbo hubs of the 80′s or TNT’s Revolver hubs from the late 80′s and early 90′s. Of course the Bullitt puts a whole new spin on things being a cassette hub with a difference. The only real downfall here is they are more difficult to clean, but well worth it. On close inspection I noticed that there was a slightly larger rib with an alienation logo on it. So I did a little hunting thinking that it might have a function to act as a counter weight for a valve or something along those lines. But apparently it’s just there by design to give enough space for a good sized decal, a nice touch.
