Any chance of someone giving me a quick lesson?
I know there are steel freehub bodies for Shimano and Campag. But what are the others?
I see instant drive and I also see ITS-2 and ITS-4. And these seem to be aluminium.
Thanks.

Sorry I haven't done the research. All I can contribute is that the rear hub on my Ksyrium Pro Carbon SL is fantastic.
It is spec'd as follows:
Freewheel: Instant Drive 360
Front and rear bodies: aluminum
Axle material: aluminum
Sealed cartridge bearings

I've just got a pair of these. Don't you find the freehub noise is more of a buzz / drone compared to a normal ticking / clicking sound?

Of course. The I-Drive 360 free hub system is a ring drive similar to a Chris King or DT 180 hub, these are characterised by a buzzing sound in motion instead of the classic ticking of a sprung pawl on a ratchet.

I like the simplicity of the FTS-L freehub bodies - the ones with the two pawls on their outside - as opposed to a ratchet ring in the hubshell arrangement that the higher end Mavic FHB's use.

Thanks for clearing that up for me
Had my first ride on the wheels today, bloody lovely, very fast for a low profile rim.

My sense is this new Pro Carbon line from Mavic is a winner. And I like the sound of the rear hub while coasting - a nice buzz.
