ethirteen Torque Caps

ethirteen Torque Caps Info

e*thirteen Torque Caps are designed for riders looking to maximize front-end stiffness and steering precision when running a Torque Cap–compatible RockShox fork. By increasing the interface surface area between the fork dropouts and hub endcaps, Torque Caps create a more secure and rigid connection compared to standard 15mm endcaps—especially noticeable under hard braking and aggressive cornering.

These Torque Caps are engineered specifically for select e*thirteen Boost front hubs and convert them for use with 15x100mm or 15x110mm Torque Cap–compatible forks. Installation is straightforward and allows riders to take full advantage of the stiffness benefits built into modern RockShox fork designs without replacing the entire hub or wheel.

Two bearing-specific options are available to ensure correct fitment. Hubs using 6805 bearings include Grappler, TRS, LG1 front hubs, and certain Sidekick 15/20mm front hubs with 61805 bearings. Hubs using 6804 bearings include Optimus, Sylvan, and TRSr SL front hubs. Bearing size is clearly marked on the outer seal of the hub bearings and can be identified once the standard endcaps are removed.

These Torque Caps are compatible only with e*thirteen hubs that use 6805 or 6804 bearings and must be paired with forks designed to accept Torque Caps. They are not compatible with hubs from other manufacturers and are not intended for use with Sidekick front hubs outside the specified configurations.
