The Hydra2 Trail Carbon is a versatile wheelset, light enough for XC racing one day and tough enough to handle park laps the next. Industry Nine optimized performance with front- and rear-specific carbon layups, each tailored to the unique demands they face, offering improved ride quality while keeping weight low.
Industry Nine Hydra 2 Trail Carbon Features
- A 65% thicker axle that’s been redesigned to dissipate stress more effectively
- Larger 6903 bearings throughout, and a new labyrinth channel and full-contact radial lip seal to keep out elements that cause premature bearing wear
- Quicker 0.41° engagement and 60% less coasting drag than its predecessor
- A new, foolproof design to ensure consistent bearing preload, regardless of variations in axle tightness
- Larger, 5.5mm pawl pockets that distribute force 26% better, preventing deformation of the pockets over years of use
- Tougher metal for the drive ring and an extra tooth on each pawl, guaranteeing Hydra2 can easily handle the torque of the most powerful e-bike motors
