"The result is a hub with 605 points of engagement using 5 pawls that are continuously phased and a 121-tooth drivering. That 0.59º engagement sounds like a lot, and it is... just not as fast as their new Hydra 2 hubs with 0.41º engagement. Realistically, though, the 0.59º engagement is way more than you need for road riding, so the decreased drag and lighter weight of the SOLiX hub is a perfect match for the new Aero Road Wheels."
"Offered in the R35, R50, or R65 (R for Road), the new rims are slightly wider with an updated aero profile meant to match modern wider road tires. I9 states that the wheels are optimized for 28-30mm tires for the best aero performance, but I've been riding them with 32mm tires without issue, as the safe tire range is listed as 25-35mm."
Industry Nine's SOLiX hubs deliver 605 points of engagement using five continuously phased pawls and a 121-tooth drivering, producing 0.59º engagement with reduced drag and lighter weight. The SOLiX Aero Road wheels pair those hubs with R35, R50, and R65 rims featuring a slightly wider, updated aero profile optimized for 28–30mm tires and a safe tire range of 25–35mm. All rims have a 22mm internal width and hooked tubeless profiles for easier setup and improved tire retention. The R35 is 3% lighter and 7% more aero efficient; the R50 is 3% lighter and 2% more efficient; the R65 is 5% lighter and 10% more efficient, aiming for greater stability in varied winds.
