The Hydra2 DH-S combines i9's toughest aluminum rims with j-bend steel spokes to keep costs down while providing a wheelset that can withstand the harshest DH trails worldwide. Thanks to the hollow bead wall technology, pinch flats are a thing of the past, and Hydra2’s instant engagement gives you the precision needed to nail your dream lines. Whether you're tackling big hits on the descent or powering back up on the latest e-bikes, the Hydra2 DH-S is built to handle it all.
Industry Nine Hydra 2 DH-S Features
- A 65% thicker axle that’s been redesigned to dissipate stress more effectively
- Larger 6903 bearings throughout, and a new labyrinth channel and full-contact radial lip seal to keep out elements that cause premature bearing wear
- Quicker 0.41° engagement and 60% less coasting drag than its predecessor
- A new, foolproof design to ensure consistent bearing preload, regardless of variations in axle tightness
- Larger, 5.5mm pawl pockets that distribute force 26% better, preventing deformation of the pockets over years of use
- Tougher metal for the drive ring and an extra tooth on each pawl, guaranteeing Hydra2 can easily handle the torque of the most powerful e-bike motors
