All these Bontrager pawl hubs use identical guts, which is where a wheelset like the aluminum Line Comp for 300 USD really has some value over what comes on similarly priced bikes.
Some, like those Line Comps, ship with 3x pawls and you can add +3x pawls / these wheels I tested ship stock with the 6x pawls. The only thing that changes between the different wheels is the amount of machining and finish on the hubs and then of course some of them use direct pull spokes instead of J-bend - which, as far as I'm concerned, is paying more money for a downgrade.
Good to know re. the Bontrager warranty department. I haven't had any personal experience with them.
