Industry Nine

Enduro 27.5in Wheelset

Industry Nine’s quickly become a go-to for riders looking for lightweight, high-performance, and gorgeously-anodized hubs (yes, we’re all guilty). This Enduro wheelset checks all the right boxes: 3-degree engagement, 26mm internal rim width, and machined spokes that are both lighter and stronger than their steel counterparts. And, lest you think these hubs are just for the spando jockeys, Industry Nine tests its hubs to 700ft./lbs of torque, which amounts to roughly what a turbo diesel truck engine puts out.

The wheels ship tubeless-ready with valve stems and tape installed, and we’ve found them to be a breeze to set up. The wider rim bed does a good job of spreading out a tire casing a bit, which translates into more traction on the trail. And, they’re built using 32 spokes, and the rim’s a double-wall design, which makes these wheels tough enough for just about everything.
