Probably old news but I found it on the 2014 WTP Crysis complete. Just Salt brand, kinda generic I guess. I wonder what internals it uses and hub shell, etc. If it's their own design, then it's probably not generic, haha.

meh, i think its probably a clone, doubt they would design a proprietary coaster for a 600 dollar complete

My homie Timm from Germany rides for Salt Plus and rides a freecoaster. I can't verify this is the hub that he rides but, if it is, I'd imagine it's pretty good...

I saw that , and I almost considered buying a Crysis complete ! Freecoaster , camo , quality.....sick bike ! Hopefully this is a good , affordable freecoaster , so kids like me can experiement without busting 250$ on a complete back wheel !

Looks like an Ezra clone if anything. It might not have the conversion shit though, the clutch might be built in and the driver be made to coast only. Basically a FC only ezra clone. Salt doesn't seem like a company to drop a whole new coaster.

^ Tim is pretty much spot on... Whilst not labelled an EZRA Clone because what company is going to say they are using anothers design. However.... It is labelled a Cassette/Coaster which would lead pretty much anyone who knows anything about Freecoasters to... That it is in fact EZRA styled Internals. Also, If You're checking out The Salt Coaster, You guys should probably take a look at the Wethepeople Helix "Whiskey Barrel" Freecoaster

Nah, just 600 on a complete 
But seriously, the BEST thing I can suggest is if you are at all interested in freecoasters, get a hub that is both (the new kink thing, Ezra etc) so if youy dislike coasters, boom you have a cassette.

well . I ride the Trapez Freecoaster (SaltPlus) since 1 year and 5 months almost every day ...
I had to replace the axle tho ... Its superb , no busted bearings ...runs smooth
BUT !!!
The axle is not heat treated it will bend if you hang up on grinds ,and this very fast .....
sad
PS : after 18 months or maybe now 19 almost ,the axle of the Trapez Freecoaster broke at the peg . Well I did some dayli grinding the whole year tho...
But the Replace axle is super affordable ;and comes with all other internal parts ; if I am not wrong this replacement saltplus package even comes with a driver .
So I guess its still a super hub.

Dude thanks, I'm sure the OP is still curious about this hub even though he posted the question 2 years ago.

When I first learned 180's on flat, after learning the roll out (Up and down a quarter) i just felt like i had no fakie skills whatsoever.
I actually ended up riding chainless for close to 6 months, getting used to the feeling of a coaster. When I finally got my fakies and halfcabs down, and I also got used to hop kickflipping with no chain, I never considered going back to casette.
I was 100p broke at this point, so I had no issues riding without a chain.
The Salt freecoaster (complete-wheel) was all of a sudden on a 40-or 50% discount out of nowhere, and I actually borrowed some of the money for it, aswell as spending the little savings I had, and I think I bought it for around 130$ at the time.
I think its has been close to 3 years now, riding it many seshes a week, in any weather, all seasons(in Denmark even). Though I have been really good at maintenancing(unsure if thats is a word) it, aswell as being sort of good to it (not doing huge drops, nor Wall-E's & back tire bumps, since that has given the rim its very first and only bend) - It actually still holds up! - The hub it self feels very smooth, and it has a decent amount of slack, the axle is straight, and
my hubgaurds are a nice fit. It happens it engages on you, but IMO thats more riders technique, than the hub.
I have seem people litterally doing some of the worst chrashes I've seen, just hopping onto my bike, expecting pedal pressure, and the falling on top of the bike, not roling at all, cause of the ammount of slack/no chain enaged So do warn your friends about that, if you ever own this one!
Mainly posted this, so that if people have questions about the wheel/hub. I will try my best to give an objective and honest answer.

Thanks for the feedback. I too have been on a coaster for 2 years and I don't think I'll ever go back to a cassette. I do a lot of fakie tricks and they just feel smoother and more fun on a coaster. At least to me.
