Rather than adapting an existing rim to fit a new size, Industry Nine’s WR1 rim and carbon design house, engineered Hush from scratch using finite element analysis to target the stiffness and compliance of a wheel size riders already trust: 29″.
The result is a 32″ wheel that doesn’t ride like a first attempt. Impact strength and radial compliance land in line with a proven 29″ wheel, with only a minor, expected drop in lateral stiffness for a platform this new, while the larger diameter brings a new level of momentum, approach angle, and roll-over capability.
Made in North America. Assembled around the world.
Every Hush rim is hand laid in Kamloops, British Columbia, by WR1, Industry Nine’s in-house carbon division.
Hush pairs a lightweight carbon rim, 24-hole, 2:1-laced, with Industry Nine’s SOLiX hub and System spokes, manufactured in Asheville, NC.
Every Hush wheelset is assembled by hand by our expert wheelbuilders in Asheville, Kamloops, and Cádiz before shipping to your door.
