PRECISION EVOLVED

We listened to your feedback from over 100,000 Hydra hubs ridden worldwide. Through relentless refinement Hydra2 emerges as the most versatile, high performance hub and wheel system available today.

Scalloped flanges on Hydra2 j-bend hubs increase overall strength, and remove excess material for a lighter, stronger hubshell.

More rolling resistance in a hub comes from seals protecting the hub from the elements. We've optimized all the seals in Hydra2 to minimize friction.

With .41 degree engagement and 60% less coasting drag than Hydra, Hydra2 provides intantaneous response and descends faster than ever.

Rider confidence begins with knowing your components can keep up with every challenge. After years of rigorous development and extensive real-world testing, we’re proud to say Hydra2 is engineered to reliably perform in the toughest riding conditions.

65% Thicker Axle

Our new axle design is 65% thicker with an improved stress washer design.

Oversized Pawl Pockets

Larger, 5.5mm pawl pockets that evenly distribute force 26% better, preventing deformation of the pockets over years of use.

Drive Ring

We used an updated and more fatigue resistant steel for the drive ring and increased the pawl tooth count to 3, guaranteeing Hydra2 can easily handle the torque of the most powerful ebike motors.

Updated Seals and Bearing Layout

Full-contact radial lip seals paired with proximity dust shields keep grit and grime out, and lubrication in.

Durable 6903 bearings are used throughout for smooth, long-lasting performance.
