FUSIONFIBER Technology is a unique method that combines various materials to create lightweight yet strong wheels. This technology not only reduces vibrations during rides, making your experience smoother and more comfortable, but it also uses non-toxic materials, making it an environmentally friendly choice compared to traditional methods that often involve harmful resins.

NXS Design is a proprietary approach that optimizes wheel performance by minimizing weight while maximizing durability in critical areas. This means you get a wheel that can handle the demands of mountain biking without being overly heavy, allowing for better performance and handling on challenging terrains.

The Industry Nine Hydra Hub is designed for quick engagement, which means that when you start pedaling, the wheel responds almost instantly. This responsiveness is crucial for mountain biking, as it allows for quick acceleration and improved performance, especially in technical sections of the trail.

Tubeless-ready wheels can be used without inner tubes, utilizing a special sealant to prevent air loss. This setup reduces the risk of flats and allows for lower tire pressures, which can enhance traction and comfort while riding. Many mountain bikers prefer tubeless setups for these benefits, especially on rough terrain.

The Boost Axle standard refers to the wider spacing of the axles, specifically 15 x 110mm for the front and 12 x 148mm for the rear. This increased width enhances the stiffness of the wheel, improving handling and stability on rough trails. If your bike is designed for Boost axles, using compatible wheels can significantly enhance your riding experience.

While these wheels are optimized for mountain biking, their lightweight construction, durability, and features like tubeless readiness make them versatile enough for various biking styles, including trail riding and cross-country. However, for the best performance, it's recommended to use them in environments where their design features can be fully utilized.
