With potentially hundreds of pawls that require no magnets or springs, Lauf's new hub design could mean instant engagement and stronger hubs!

Any advantages? Standard ratchet "just works".
- It looks neat?
  
  According to the article it's faster/instant engagement. but I've been riding for over 30 years and I can't say the standard has never bothered me.
I got to volunteer at a UCI event. A lot of the racers had very clicky hubs there, I imagine this is mostly for those competitive types.
