The relationship between wheel hub type and heat dissipation

The relationship between wheel hub type and heat dissipation

When choosing the aluminum alloy wheel to be replaced, in addition to choosing the style you like, you must also pay attention to the relationship between the shape of the aluminum ring and the heat dissipation efficiency. The shape of the rim determines the heat dissipation efficiency of the braking system, so it is very important to choose a reasonable rim. Here we help you analyze the relationship between some common rim types on the market and heat dissipation.

1. Traditional multi-claw wheel hub
Using the traditional thin five-claw or six-claw design, it belongs to the classic and durable style. This design is very helpful for the heat dissipation efficiency of the braking system. As for some three-claw or four-claw rims, although they can better help heat dissipation, because of too few supporting spokes, the domestic road conditions are too poor, and their resistance to distortion, impact resistance and strength are worrying.

2. Radial hub
The aluminum alloy wheel adopts a multi-spoke, even a tree-like shape design, which feels very sporty. Its balanced and symmetrical hollow space is very helpful for heat dissipation.

3. Covered hub
The use of multiple large-area spokes has a luxurious atmosphere, but it has no effect on the heat dissipation function. Some of them will have a heat gathering effect because of the shape.
