Origin 8 Hornet 108 Performance Freewheel – 17T – 3/32" – Chrome

The Origin 8 Hornet 108 is a high-engagement single-speed freewheel built for riders who want immediate pickup when they apply power. With 108 points of engagement, it minimizes lag and delivers a direct, responsive feel at the pedals.

This 17-tooth, 3/32" version is commonly used on track, fixed-gear–style single-speed conversions, and commuter builds that run a narrower chain.

Service / Ownership Context
High-engagement freewheels transfer load quickly, which places more demand on chain condition and chainline accuracy. Proper chain tension and regular inspection help extend drivetrain life, especially for riders who start hard or ride aggressively.

Fit & Use Signals
• Good fit for track or narrow-chain single-speed builds
• Good fit if your drivetrain uses a 3/32" chain
• Good fit if you want very fast engagement
• Not a fit for multi-speed drivetrains
• Not a fit for cassette/freehub rear hubs
