Profile Racing – Z-Coaster Slack Cam Ring Videos

April 14, 2015

Today is the day I’m sure a bunch of you have been waiting for! Profile Racing have released a bunch of videos giving us a look at all the different slack options for their Z-Coaster that has been in the works for quite a while. They have even released a video showing you how to change the slack cam ring which gives the first look INSIDE the hub since that has been top secret until now… Even the samples the team riders are on are welded sealed so they couldn’t open them! Check out the different videos after the jump! The Z-Coaster should be available by the end of April if all goes to plan!

“Profile Z-Coaster Slack-Cam Ring B. 60 Degrees
Slack Cam Ring B. provides Z-Coaster slack of:
60 degrees (1/6 of a crank rotation)
Slack Cam-Cam Ring B. and C. (75 Degrees) work best for flat/street/ramp depending on your preference.

Slack Cam rings with different degrees of slack can be bought separately.”
