Designed to bring Shimano’s trusted engineering to riders seeking dependable disc-brake performance, the Shimano FH-MT200-B Rear Freehub stands out as a reliable and cost-effective hub for trail, touring, and daily commuting bikes. Tailored for 8, 9, and 10-speed drivetrains, it strikes a perfect balance between strength, smoothness, and simplicity—ideal for riders who demand confidence on varied terrain without the complexity or cost of premium-level hubs.
At the core of the FH-MT200-B is Shimano’s Center Lock disc rotor interface, which uses a spline-and-lockring system for secure rotor mounting and ultra-precise alignment. This system not only accelerates installation and removal but also enhances braking consistency and reduces lateral rotor flex—especially helpful on rugged or technical rides where braking performance is critical.
This rear hub features a 141mm OLD (Over Locknut Dimension) paired with a 172mm quick-release axle, providing a strong yet simple clamping interface for quick wheel changes and dependable engagement. The extended 141mm spacing improves lateral stiffness, translating into more stable handling and efficient power transfer—qualities especially noticeable during climbs or under heavy pedaling loads.
Internally, the FH-MT200-B utilizes Shimano’s cup-and-cone bearing system—a hallmark of Shimano hubs. This bearing setup offers precise load handling and smoother rotational performance, while also allowing for easy user service and adjustments over time. It’s a preferred choice for riders and mechanics who value longevity and maintainability.
Finished in a sleek black anodization, the hub shell is crafted from forged aluminum for the ideal combination of strength and reduced weight. With a 32-hole configuration, the hub is compatible with a wide range of rim choices, making it a flexible component for custom builds or OEM replacements.
