Industry Nine I9 Spokes

No. These spokes are designed exclusively for Industry Nine's proprietary wheel systems. They will not fit standard J-bend or straight-pull hubs from other manufacturers.

Butting means the spoke diameter varies along its length, being thicker at the ends where stress is highest and thinner in the middle to save weight. This design provides a balance of strength and flexibility, helping the wheel absorb trail impacts more effectively.

Yes, provided the length matches your specific wheel build. Because these are proprietary, you must ensure the 270mm length is the correct size for your specific rim and hub combination before purchasing.

Yes, because these spokes are part of a proprietary system, they often require specific tools provided by Industry Nine to ensure proper tensioning and to prevent damage to the aluminum material during installation.

Aluminum spokes are significantly lighter than steel, which reduces rotational weight and improves acceleration. While they require careful tensioning, they are engineered to provide the stiffness and durability needed for high-performance riding.
