No Longer Hush-Hush. 32 Industry Nine Mountain Bike Wheels Are Here.
The rumors are over. The cats out of the bag. Industry Nines Hush 32 mountain bike wheels are now official. And you can finally order a set for your own custom 32er MTB build. We first spotted 32 i9 wheels a year ago at MADE on Neuhaus Metalworks steel Nova 32 mountain bike. Then, at Sea Otter this past spring, Industry Nine let out the secret of their Hush-hush name. But availability was still TBD. Now, Industry Nine has settled the details, and is ready to custom-build your wheels.And we expect to see several colorful combinations at this years MADE show in Portland this coming weekend!Industry Nine Hush 32 carbon XC/trail mountain bike wheels(Ride photos by QuarterHP/Industry Nine)Themselves handmade between a carbon rim shop in Canada and their CNC alloy manufacturing in the USA, Industry Nine wheels always feel right on custom bike builds. So as more and more builders craft new bikes around 32 wheels, it was logical to see Industry Nine step up to the plate. Now those big prototype wheels weve been following for a year or so, are also available to the general public. All you need is a 32 bike to fit them on!So how did they get there?Happy to help push the bike industry forward, i9 leaned on their We Are One composites team to create an all-new rim shape for the larger wheel diameter. They didnt want to just scale up a 29er design. So WR1 engineers leveraged their FEA experience to better understand how the larger wheel diameter would impact stiffness and compliance, and what they needed to do to match the ride feel modern 29er riders have come to love.The result is a wheel that carries the familiar impact strength and radial compliance of the proven 29 wheel, with minimal reduction in lateral stiffness expected from moving to a larger diameter. At the same time, 32 brings its own advantages: increased momentum, a shallower approach angle, and improved rollover through rough terrain.The resulting Hush 32 wheels opted for just 24 spokes front & rear. But they take advantage of Industry Nines straight-pull aluminum System spokes and proven SOLiX MTB hubs to deliver the required stiffness and durability.Tech details32 carbon XC & Trail wheelsall-new 32 carbon MTB rim 26mm deep, 652mm ERD, 442g claimed rim weight30mm hookless internalbuilt with alloy i9 SOLiX M hubs, with centerlock disc mountultra-fast 605 POE / 0.59 Hydra hub engagementSRAM XD, Shimano Micro Spline & HG freehubs availablelaced 2:1 with 24 i9 alloy system spokes, front & rearBoost 15110 & 12x148mm spacingavailable in 7 colors: black, silver, gold, orange, red, purple, & bronzehandmade in North America carbon rims made in Kamloops, BC and machined aluminum in Asheville, NC1512g complete wheelset weight claim (702g front & 810g rear)Industry Nine Hush 32 wheels Pricing, options & availabilityIndustry Nines new Hush 32 carbon mountain bike wheels are available now complete, built with i9 alloy spokes & SOLiX hubs for cross-country and trail riding.
