Industry Nine Hydra and wallet-friendly 101 hubsets.
690 points of engagement:
That is what the new Industry Nine Hydra is supplying. Now that we have your attention let talk about how something like this came to be.
Quick driver engagement has become synonymous with Industry Nine wheels – always pushing what is needed and what’s attainable. Its newest release, Hydra driver raises the bar on hub technology, using an independently-phased six pawl, 115 tooth drive ring. Nearly two years in the making – this drive ring helps Hydra rewrite the rules of engagement. The new drive ring enables an enormous leap to 690 points of engagement or .52° between each.
Hydra is said to offer consistent, reliable engagement without overloaded bearings, axles or hub shells. The innovative new design utilizes a continually phased system, creating a procession of engagement points between pawl and drive ring. The model uses the inherent flex of the axle to accomplish positive second, third or fourth pawl contact. Hydra also tempers uncontrolled axle and bearing movements conventional designs can’t mechanically limit, thus improving bearing life and decreasing resistance.
Industry Nine Hydra features include:
- 115 tooth drive ring
- Hubs: System + Classic j-bend
- 11 custom anodized colors
- 6 pawl, 6 phase
- 28 hole + 32 hole
- Improved internal layout to maximize performance, increase durability and lower drag.

As always, riders can find their perfect adaptations with a universe of fitment, freehub bodies, hub and spoke colors, wheel models and sizes.
