Wheelset:

Competitive weight, stability, and speed across a wide range of wind conditions make the Solix SL 45 a versatile wheelset for all types of road bikes. The hook-shaped, tubeless-ready 45mm deep rim, paired with the lightning-fast and all-weather Solix hub system, adapts to any riding situation. In addition to durable seals, 605 engagement points, and low drag, the Solix SL hubs feature a minimal profile to accommodate 24 Sapim CX-Ray straight-pull spokes, which are among the fastest and lightest steel spokes available.

Hubs:

The heart of the Solix rear hub is a 121-tooth drive ring combined with five continuously variable pawls. This gives the Industry Nine Solix rear hub 605 contact points and a freewheel travel of just 0.59 degrees, resulting in instantaneous engagement. The freewheels and drive rings are manufactured from A2 tool steel using precision wire EDM and are designed for maximum durability. To minimize resistance and freewheel noise, Industry Nine has reduced the drive diameter, pawl rotation, and pawl spring pressure, and modified the FH seal arrangement.

Solix utilizes customized hub cup bearing specifications for even load distribution, an updated bearing preload method to optimize performance and lifespan, and freehub bearings with up to 233% higher capacity compared to Torch. The combination of end caps with dust covers and new full-contact lip seals ensures maximum ball bearing protection, even under the most adverse conditions. The unique wave-shaped design of the hub flanges further enhances load distribution, increases strength, and reduces weight.
