Centre Hub (Rear Drum Hub) – Classic 350 UCE / Bullet 500 UCE – RAT00026/A (Textured Silver, Replaces 804006 / 141103)

Royal Enfield RAT00026/A is the centre hub for the rear wheel drum hub in Textured Silver finish (commonly searched as rear wheel hub, rear drum hub, centre hub rear, hub rear 6"). This is the core hub component that your spokes lace into and where the rear drum/brake assembly interfaces—critical for wheel alignment, braking feel, and long-term durability.

If your hub has cracked spoke holes, excessive wear, corrosion/pitting, or you are rebuilding a wheel after a hard impact, using the correct genuine OEM hub avoids spoke-angle issues and poor machining tolerances that can cause wobble or repeated spoke loosening.

Also searched as: hub rear 6 inch silver, centre hub rear buffed, rear wheel hub classic 350, bullet 500 rear hub, RAT00026 hub.

Before you buy: confirm your bike is a Classic 350 UCE or Bullet 500 UCE with rear drum hub, and verify the required hub spec by sharing a photo of your current hub/wheel + spoke count before dispatch.

FAQs

Q1 (Fitment): How do I confirm RAT00026/A fits my bike?
Match (1) your model/platform (Classic 350 UCE or Bullet 500 UCE confirmed), (2) rear wheel type is a spoked wheel with drum hub, and (3) your hub spec (spoke hole count / machining) matches. Share a clear photo of your current hub + wheel build before dispatch.

Q2 (Fitment): Is this for Classic 350 Reborn (J-Series) or Hunter/Meteor?
No confirmed data in this run for J-Series platforms. These bikes often use different wheel/hub part numbers. Order only if your existing hub part number matches RAT00026/A or you confirm with a photo/parts fiche.

Q3 (Comparison): OEM vs aftermarket rear hub—what changes?
OEM hubs typically have consistent spoke-hole drilling, better machining, and correct spoke-seat geometry. Many aftermarket hubs fail on alignment, causing wobble or repeated spoke loosening—especially after hard use.

Q4 (Installation): What should a mechanic check during installation?
A proper wheel rebuild needs correct spoke set, rim alignment, truing, and torque. Replace worn bearings/seals if needed and check brake drum condition. Always re-check spoke tension after initial running-in.

Q5 (Symptoms): When do I need to replace the rear hub?
Cracked/elongated spoke holes, hub flange cracks, severe corrosion/pitting, repeated spoke breakage/loosening, or a wheel that cannot be trued correctly due to hub damage.
