I have a brand new Shimano XT FH-M8110-B freehub that goes completely silent. It's as if the ratchet stops working. I've never experienced this. Has anyone else? A link to a video showing the behavior is below:
Yes it is normal. The face ratchets can disengage when coasting and reengage when pedaling. It is similar to the Scylence feature they were going to release, but it is not completely silent.
You could add some lube to the ratchet, but that is how they are designed to operate. Be very careful about where you apply grease, as thhis is a completely new design
Trying to get a few more miles out of that video, yeah?
