Saris · Direct drive · Discontinued
Quick answer
The Saris H3 accepts 130 mm quick-release, 135 mm quick-release, 12 × 142 mm thru-axle and 12 × 148 mm Boost thru-axle, ships with a Shimano/SRAM HG (HyperGlide) freehub, and supports Shimano/SRAM HG (HyperGlide), SRAM XD Driver Body and SRAM XDR Driver Body. No cassette is included — fit your own or buy a matching one.
Before you order an adapter
The thru-axle adapters are included in the box.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. The Saris H3 supports 12 × 142 mm thru-axle, 12 × 148 mm Boost thru-axle. The thru-axle adapters are included in the box.
The Saris H3 ships with a Shimano/SRAM HG (HyperGlide) freehub and supports Shimano/SRAM HG (HyperGlide), SRAM XD Driver Body and SRAM XDR Driver Body. Non-included bodies are sold separately.
No — you fit your own cassette (reuse a spare wheel’s or buy one matching your drivetrain speed).
No cassette: you fit your own or buy one. The freehub body already on it is Shimano/SRAM HG (HyperGlide). Axle hardware in the box covers 130 mm quick-release, 135 mm quick-release, 12 × 142 mm, 12 × 148 mm Boost. Sold separately, if you need it: SRAM XD Driver Body, SRAM XDR Driver Body.
Yes — a SRAM XD and SRAM XDR freehub body is available for the Saris H3 (sold separately unless it ships with one).
No — there is no Shimano Micro Spline freehub body for the Saris H3, so a Shimano 12-speed MTB cassette (XTR, XT, SLX, Deore) will not fit. It takes Shimano/SRAM HG (HyperGlide), SRAM XD Driver Body and SRAM XDR Driver Body instead.
No — there is no Campagnolo freehub body for the Saris H3; it supports Shimano/SRAM (and SRAM XD/XDR where listed) only.
Virtual-shifting support for the Saris H3 is not confirmed by the manufacturer; treat it as a physical-cassette trainer.
The Saris H3 is discontinued — Saris no longer sells it new. It still works with today’s training apps and used units are easy to find; its compatibility (axle standards, freehub options, cassette) is unchanged from the specs above.
