The Wolf Tooth Boostinator is designed for riders who want to unlock the advantages of Boost spacing without investing in an entirely new wheelset. By converting compatible 15x100 mm front and 12x142 mm rear hubs to the wider 110 mm and 148 mm Boost standards, the Boostinator allows your existing wheels to work seamlessly with modern frames and forks. It’s a practical, performance-focused solution that improves wheel stiffness, expands tire clearance, and preserves proper disc and drivetrain alignment—all while extending the life of your current wheels. Each Boostinator kit includes a precisely machined axle end cap, and for rear applications, a rotor spacer with high-strength Class 10.9 bolts. These components shift the rotor and cassette outward to meet Boost specifications, ensuring that brakes and derailleurs operate exactly as intended. A simple re-dish of the wheel completes the conversion, and the improved spoke bracing angle results in a stronger, more balanced wheel build. Wolf Tooth offers several model-specific Boostinator configurations to match popular front and rear hubs from DT Swiss, Hope, and others. While front kits require only the end cap and wheel re-dish, rear kits include the rotor spacer and bolts. Rear Boostinators are not approved for rotors larger than 183 mm, and centerlock compatibility varies by model. Wolf Tooth’s engineering and testing ensure that conversion strength surpasses the loads generated by the most powerful brakes on the market, helping riders make the transition to Boost spacing with confidence, clarity, and value. Wolf Tooth Boostinator Specs Purpose: Converts 100/142 mm hubs to 110/148 mm Boost spacing. Compatibility: Model-specific kits for select DT Swiss, Hope, Industry Nine (discontinued), and other hubs. Design: Axle end cap (front); axle end cap + rotor spacer + Class 10.9 bolts (rear). Wheel Requirements: Re-dish required after installation; rear kits not approved for rotors over 183 mm. Rotor Interface: Front: 6-bolt and select centerlock; Rear: 6-bolt only. Material: CNC-machined 6061 aluminum. Bolt Strength: Class 10.9 bolts included with rear kits. Model Highlights Boostinator DF2: For DT Swiss 2011+ 240s 15x100 mm hubs; centerlock supported; 6 g. Boostinator DF3: For DT Swiss 350/370 15x100 mm hubs; centerlock supported; 5 g. Boostinator HF: For Hope Pro 2 EVO and Pro 4 15x100 mm front hubs. Boostinator HR: For Hope Pro 2 EVO and Pro 4 12x142 mm rear hubs; 18 g. Legacy / Discontinued: 9TR (Industry Nine Torch), DF2O (240s Oversize), DR (DT Swiss 240/350 12x142 mm). Design Benefits Boost performance without new wheels: Upgrade existing wheels to fit Boost frames and forks. Improved wheel stiffness: Re-dishing increases spoke symmetry for a stronger, more stable build. Maintained drivetrain alignment: Rotor and cassette shift outward to match factory Boost specs. Engineered strength: Rear kits tested to withstand forces far beyond those produced by modern brakes. Final Take The Boostinator is an elegant, cost-effective way to modernize non-Boost wheels, delivering measurable performance gains without replacing your wheelset. It’s a practical upgrade for riders transitioning to Boost frames or looking to extract more stability and longevity from their existing wheels.
