Introducing the latest i9 innovation – the Hydra Frequency Adjust Ratchet Technology. Whether looking to ride in silence or want to make your presence known on the trail, the all-new adjustable Hydra drive mechanism is Bluetooth connected for on-demand tuning.
Ranging from “silent but deadly” .5 db, to “blackout inducing” 150 db, the latest Hydra technology is tuneable for any riding condition. Just be careful, cranking the Frequency Adjust Ratchet to 11 is not suitable for all riders.

Each 10dB of volume increases power used to generate the sound by a factor of 10. Let's assume that stock hydras use 1watt and produce 50dB. Which would make them pretty darn loud. At 150 dB it would take 10^10 watts or 10 GIGAWATTS of power. Comparable to FIVE Hoover dams at maximum power.
That would not be "deafening" that would be literally earth shattering.

A well needed brightener... Thank you
Never forget, 2015 Rampage. Paul Bas was on track for a 1st place run right as he hucked the *largest* natural step down jump ever attempted on two wheels—25ft out, 45ft+ down—unfortunately the impact was *so* immense on his body and air-shock equipped 26” Scott Gambler that his feet blew out and our hero Paul Bas tried everything to weather that rodeo runout (a near vertical landing)..unfortunately he got hurled off his bike @~25+mph directly off an 8ft high dirt shelf to flat ground. Paul literally barrel rolled through the air and smacked the floor flat on his back. He didn’t even hit his head, didn’t even injure any other part of his body—all spine.
He got heli-lifted out and underwent an emergency life saving 11hour surgery to fuse what was left of his t12 vertebrate.
After a truly heroic, no nonsense determination to walk again I can proudly say Paul Bas still rides E-bike mountain bikes to this very day.
I served him fresh living green juice drinks @Craig hospital in Denver, Colorado immediately after his injury. Guy is a real genuine biker..no glitz no glam. He had zero sponsors on his jersey when he dropped into what would have easily been a podium finish that Rampage. He tested, in every dimension, what the human body is capable of. Wow..I live for this.
We love you Paul Basagoitia. Real hero, over and over and over again
