Formula FH-513 (KP488) freehub body for Shimano cassettes

Description

When your bike’s drive runs quietly and reliably, even an ordinary ride takes on a completely different rhythm. The Formula FH-513 (KP488) freehub body for Shimano cassettes is a small part, but it can restore dependable power transfer and that “just right” feel with every pedal stroke. It’s ideal when you want to address wear, play, or damage to the existing freehub body without unnecessary compromises.

Main benefits

Formula FH-513 (KP488) is a replacement freehub body designed for Formula hubs, serving as the interface between the rear hub and a Shimano-type cassette. Replacing the freehub body helps restore smooth engagement and stable cassette seating, which translates into more confident pedaling even under higher loads. It’s a practical solution for bike servicing when you don’t want to replace the entire hub or build a new wheel. You’ll appreciate it for routine maintenance as well as for repairs after a tougher season, when the drivetrain is exposed to dirt, water, and high torque.

Technical specifications

This is a freehub body for Shimano cassettes, meaning cassettes with the standard Shimano spline interface (often referred to as HG), commonly used on many road and MTB cassettes. The product is compatible with the Formula FH-513 hub and is also listed under the designation KP488, making it easier to choose the correct service part when ordering by catalog or hub exploded diagram. The freehub body is intended for the rear hub, and its role is to transfer drive from the cassette into the hub while also allowing coasting when riding without pedaling. For proper function, it’s important that the hub and service-part designations match—this is exactly why the FH-513 and KP488 pairing is key information.

Conclusion

If you’re servicing a Formula rear hub and need to keep compatibility with a Shimano cassette, Formula FH-513 (KP488) is exactly the kind of replacement part that makes sense. It’s suitable for cyclists who want to restore drivetrain function cleanly, correctly, and without unnecessary modifications.
