First Look: Talon Carbon/Aluminum Hubs

We got a sneak peek at this new Talon hub today, which features the usual billet aluminum flanges, which are then mated to a carbon fiber center section. They've been undergoing testing with some of the Team Red Bull KTM crew, and they definitely rank high on the trickness scale. We were impressed with its feathery weight, though there's no word on how long it'll be before they make it to market. The price is still being set as well, but it was suggested to us that they may be in the range of, "If you have to ask…" In other words, we'll expect to see these on the bikes of factory guys and well-heeled racers who are looking for every ounce of weight they can shave.
