Berd Approved Hubs

Stronger · Lighter · Faster

Berd Approved is the patent-pending hub interface standard designed to work optimally with Berd spokes, which are high-performance bicycle spokes made from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Berd Approved hubs contain hooked flanges that are free of sharp corners which enable an exceptionally durable, lightweight, and easy-to-service spoke/hub interface solution.
