Mtr12 12x142mm Thru Axle DISC Brake Rear Hub

The Bitex Mtr12 is a precision-engineered rear hub built around the 12x142mm thru-axle standard, designed for disc brake drivetrains on road and gravel bikes. Whether you're building a custom wheelset for weekend Ghat climbs or upgrading a training setup to handle Indian tarmac year-round, a quality hub sits at the centre of every reliable wheel build.

Use Cases

Daily training. Reliable use across Indian training conditions — heat, humidity, and rough tarmac.

Race day. Performance-grade construction for competitive efforts.

Long rides. Built for full-day rides across Western Ghats, Sahyadri, or Nilgiri climbs.

Our Take

Bitex has earned respect among wheel builders for consistent quality at a sensible price point, and the Mtr12 is a clear example of that. The 12x142mm thru-axle format brings improved stiffness and consistent disc rotor alignment — both meaningful benefits on technical climbs around Lonavala, Coorg, or Ooty where braking precision matters. For Indian riders building a custom wheelset without paying import premiums on European hubs, this is a strong, well-priced choice.

Sizing for Indian Riders

This hub fits frames with a 12x142mm rear thru-axle dropout — the current standard on most modern disc road and gravel framesets sold in India. Confirm your frame's rear dropout specification before ordering. The hub accepts a standard cassette body; verify Shimano HG, SRAM XD, or SRAM XDR compatibility based on your drivetrain before purchase.

Compatibility Notes

Designed for 12x142mm thru-axle disc brake frames. Check whether your frame requires Centerlock or 6-bolt rotor mounting and match accordingly. Spoke count and hole pattern must be confirmed against your intended rim before lacing. Works with Shimano HG cassettes; confirm body type for SRAM or Campagnolo drivetrains. Bearing service is recommended periodically, especially after monsoon riding in Chennai, Kolkata, or Mumbai.

Pairs Well With

Complete your custom build by pairing this hub with a quality double-butted rim in your preferred depth, stainless or bladed spokes, alloy nipples suited to your build tension, and a disc rotor matched to your calliper standard. A spoke tension meter is a worthwhile addition for a first custom build.
