Building upon a long legacy of reliable hubs, Industry Nine evolves once again with the Hydra – an all new series of hubs that replaces the successful Torch series. While the real excitement lies with the rear hub, boasting a whopping 690 points of engagement, the Hydra front hub also gets some upgrades. Improved seals are implemented better keep moisture out, and a new internal axle that distributes load more evenly, reducing stress on the bearings. Aside from those upgrades, the rest of the Hydra front hub remains the same as the previous Torch Classic front hub.
The Straight-Pull Hydra hub is built specifically for Industry Nine’s proprietary thick-gauge aluminum spokes, which are available in all the same colors as the hubs. The spoke threads directly into the hub, creating an incredibly strong and stiff junction. Fanatik Bike Co. is the only wheel builder in the country that is authorized to build Industry Nine’s proprietary hubs and spokes.
All Industry Nine hubs are precision-built right at home in the USA at their Asheville, North Carolina factory.
