Industry Nine has launched a new range of SOLix wheelsets and hubs aimed at drop bar riders. Industry Nine is known for producing some of the best mountain bike hubs with legendary high engagement and build quality, the new SOLix hubs offer a similar instantaneous pick-up and are available as a hub only or built up with a range of carbon rims which should position Industry Nine amongst the best gravel bike wheels on the market.
Industry Nine already has the 1/1 road hub, however, while the 1/1s have 90 points of engagement (POE), the new hubs boast 605 POE which translates to just 0.59 degrees before the hub engages. The super fast engagement should give the SOLix hubs an almost instantaneous pick-up when you start pedaling. This is achieved using an ultra-fine 121 tooth driver ring and five leaf sprung pawls that work in phases.
