Get ready to hit the trail at warp-speed with Industry Nine’s new Hydra Trail S 29in Boost Wheelset. These fancy new hoops combine the classic Trail rim with the quickest new hub on the block — the I9 Hydra which offers engagement that’s so quick you won’t know you even put the power down before you start rolling forward. This particular wheel build laces up Hydra hubs with I9’s alloy Trail rims using straight-pull steel spokes designed to simplify the build a bit dropping down the price so you can keep some of your upgrade budget safe for other components. The high-performance straight-pull system still offers stiff control with 28-spokes but with a more conventional approachable package that fits the pocketbook of those of us who don’t want to blow this year’s bike-upgrade-budget in one place. The Trail rims used are the same you’ll find in the higher-end builds with lightweight construction and a moderate 27-millimeter internal width that accommodates 2. 2-to-2. 5-inch tires finding the balance between reduced rolling resistance and plush control in corners.
