Great test for a hub - especially with it being an alloy freehub taking the load since they’re more likely to fail if tolerances aren’t good.
I’ve known people to remove 3x pawls from Industry Nine wheels to reduce drag - I’d also guess that’s why the non-DT Kovee wheels come spec with 3-pawl.
I didn’t ride the wheels as 3-Pawl on the trail (good idea for review) but in the shop I didn’t perceive any difference. Maybe testament to the Dumondetech freehub lube?
