HANDMADE - ASHEVILLE, NC
We build things here. By hand, with intention, in North America because we feel it’s the correct way. Every hub that leaves our floor carries the weight of that responsibility and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing the work was done right.
Hydra2, SOLiX and 1/1 aren't the spawn of a need to provide something new to satisfy an everchanging market. They're the direct result of obsession, of iteration, of listening to the people who trust us with their rides, and refusing to give them anything less than our best.
This is how we operate.
IT STARTS WITH THE HUB...
BUILT ON FEEDBACK. PROVEN ON DIRT. READY. FOR WHATS NEXT.
The trail doesn’t care about specs—it give direct immediate feedback. It points out an little missed detail. Hydra2 was built from that feedback, with over 100,000 hard-ridden Hydra1 hubs showing us where to push further.
A 65% thicker axle targets real stress points, larger bearings and a full-contact seal system keep contamination out, and expanded pawl pockets dissipate more force where it matters.
Add an extra tooth on every pawl, stronger drive ring materials, and 0.41° engagement with significantly reduced drag, and the result is immediate, reliable drive when you need it most. Hydra2 isn’t theoretical performance—it’s engineered from the ride.

BUILT FOR SPEED. CARRIED ON ENDURANCE.
Some riders chase podiums. Some chase the whats on the horizon. SOLiX was built for both—by people who know speed at distance is earned.
At its core is our continuously phased freehub, where five pawls and a 121-tooth drive ring deliver 605 points of engagement. Power comes on instantly, then loads progressively for smooth, reliable drive under real torque.
Wrapped in an ultralight, highly durable platform with lower drag and our most robust sealing to date, SOLiX carries nearly two decades of wheel-building conviction into every mile. This isn’t performance on paper—it’s built to keep working as long as you do.

Engagement: 0.59° – 605 points of engagement
Mechanism: Continuously phased, 5-pawl x 121-tooth drivering

INDUSTRY NINE ENGINEERING MEETS THE EVERYDAY RIDE.
The 1/1 hub brings Industry Nine engineering into a more accessible, utilitarian platform without losing the mechanical honesty behind it.
A dual-phase pawl system delivers 90 points of engagement with quick, predictable response, backed by high-capacity bearings built to handle real trail loads.
A conventional flanged hubshell pairs with standard J-bend steel spokes for proven reliability and serviceability anywhere—no proprietary tools, no barriers. 1/1 is the on-ramp to Industry Nine, built the right way from the start.
