Only if you purchase a separate Center Lock to 6-bolt adapter.
Depending on riding conditions, an annual inspection and re-greasing of the angular contact bearings is recommended to maintain peak performance.

Inspect the Micro Spline interface for debris and ensure the cassette lockring is torqued to manufacturer specifications.
To ensure optimal performance, confirm your bike frame supports the 12x148mm 'Boost' standard. Installation requires a Center Lock disc rotor; if you currently use 6-bolt rotors, you must purchase a Center Lock adapter. For tubeless setups, use high-quality tubeless tape and valves to take advantage of the UST-ready rim design. When cleaning your bike, avoid high-pressure water spray directed at the hub seals to preserve the factory-packed grease inside the angular contact bearings. Periodic checks of the spoke tension are recommended after the first few rides to ensure the wheel remains true after the initial break-in period.
