From NC to BC – cutting edge carbon meets the ground-breaking Industry Nine Hydra hub, ushering in a new range of carbon mountain wheels. The collection includes the Ultralite 280, Trail 280, Enduro 315, Grade 315, and Enduro 355, comprising the company’s largest selection to date.

The new carbon wheelsets are built in partnership with Canadian carbon manufacturer, We Are One Composites. The rims are hand laid in Kamloops, BC and feature Industry Nine exclusive layups, molds, and specifications, perfectly complementing Industry Nine’s well-proven straight-pull aluminum spoke and direct-thread hub system.

Entirely engineered, manufactured, and assembled in North America, the updated wheels feature rim profiles with a focus on ride quality.

  • Thicker bead wall to reduce the risk of pinch flats or damage from impacts.

The wheels will be offered in various build options of 24 and 32 spoke counts depending on the application. Every wheelset is backed by a Lifetime Warranty.
