Origin 8 Hornet 108 Performance Freewheel – 16T – 1/8" – Chrome

The Origin 8 Hornet 108 is a high-engagement single-speed freewheel built for BMX, track, and single-speed bikes that demand fast pickup. With 108 points of engagement, it engages almost immediately when you apply pressure to the pedals.

This is typically chosen for street, park, or fixed-gear-style single-speed builds where lag in engagement is noticeable and undesirable.
