Video: Industry Nine Introduces Hydra & 101 Hubs in 'The New Phase'
PRESS RELEASE: Industry Nine
The only constant is change. Like any advance forward, change is informed by any number of factors - determination, adaptation, survival instincts and thousands of trial and error sets. Every ride, every trail and every hour in the saddle is built into the DNA of Hydra and 101.
Hydra is designed with lightning quick 690 POE resulting in 0.52° between engagements offering the rider previously unheard of responsiveness. This near-instantaneous engagement allows the bike to claw up the most technical climbs, manual at a split seconds notice and rocket out of every corner.
The 101 hub stays true to our performance heritage here at Industry Nine. Featuring a dual phased-pawl drive mechanism accomplishing 90 POE and 4° engagement by way of a six pawl driver and 45 tooth drivering, 101 takes a no-nonsense approach in welcoming riders to Industry Nine.
Every rider who’s ever put a pedal down to apply power to an i9 hub has a part in bringing us to this point, a project over two and a half years in the making.
We're proud to now offer not only the next step in high engagement hub technology with Hydra, but to bring a quality, high engagement budget option to all riders with the 101 as well.
Evolve. Innovate. Ride. Repeat.
Industry Nine

''Millions of years ago the Hydras used to live under the water, then they came out of the water and became green hub-shells. Nevertheless in the beginning they showered frequently. When they grew up into full hubs they laced into wheels with a variety of green shaded spokes, probably by someone with very bad taste. They also have a lot of engagement points.''
Just wondering about the recent offerings from Onyx Racing and the new XTR hubs. The Onyx Hubs use a sprag clutch mechanism have instant clutch engagement during power stroke and instant disengagement when coasting. The XTR Hubs use Micro-Spline and Scylence Technology which is similar but not identical to the Onyx srpag clutch. Both have silent operation before, during and after clutch engagement....STEALTH mode!!! The Onyx hubs give me instant pedal power, never even a tiny delay like on some others I've tried without the sprag clutch. Buzz or no buzz and why? Any thoughts?
I was simply trying to see people's opinion on silent vs. hubs that buzz. If you don't like Onyx hubs, that's fine....but maybe you should give them a try on a nice set of carbon rims?
