Industry Nine Hydra Grade S Rear Wheel

This wheel is built for aggressive mountain biking, including enduro and technical trail riding. Its robust aluminum construction and high-engagement hub are engineered to handle the stresses of steep descents and demanding terrain.

This specific model requires a frame with 157mm hub spacing and a 12mm thru-axle. Please verify your bike's rear axle standard before purchasing, as 157mm is typically found on downhill or specific enduro bikes.

Industry Nine's Hydra hub engages almost immediately when you start pedaling. This minimizes the 'dead zone' in your pedal stroke, which is particularly helpful for technical climbs where you need quick power bursts to clear obstacles.

This wheel comes with a Shimano Micro Spline freehub body. It is designed specifically for Shimano 12-speed drivetrains, so it will not work with standard HG or SRAM XD cassettes without swapping the freehub body.

The 30mm internal width is a sweet spot for modern trail tires, typically ranging from 2.3 to 2.6 inches wide. It provides a stable base that prevents the tire from squirming in corners, allowing you to run slightly lower pressures for better grip.

Yes, the rim is tubeless-ready. You will just need to add your preferred tubeless tape, sealant, and a valve stem to complete the setup.
