R2BIKE wheelset 29" TR | Industry Nine MTB 6-hole hubs | ENVE carbon rims
Application: Trail TR, Down Country DC
With this wheelset you can really let it rip even in difficult terrain. The indestructible Industry Nine hubs and the superbly crafted ENVE rims are forgiving of the occasional riding error, while the well-balanced selection of components guarantees you a high level of reliability and a long service life.
Hubs
Completely redesigned - the Hydra 2 hubs have been developed to withstand even the toughest conditions. Five years of further development and feedback from over 100,000 Hydra 1 hubs sold worldwide have gone into the Hydra 2.
Every Classic Mountain hub is manufactured from start to finish in Asheville, NC, at Industry Nine. From turning and milling the hub shell, axles and end caps, to wire EDMing A2 tool steel for the pawls and spider, to the in-house anodizing facility, every step of the design, engineering, manufacturing and assembly process is performed to the most exacting standards in the industry. Thanks to this complete production from a single source, consistent quality of the hubs is always guaranteed.
The Hydra 2 Classic MTB hubs have a 65% thicker axle and larger 6903 bearings for the best possible durability.New labyrinth seals are designed to keep dirt out better and minimize frictional resistance, and enlarged ratchet pockets have been installed for better force distribution to prevent deformation over many years. Despite all this, Industry Nine managed to minimize the weight of the Hydra 2 hubs compared to its predecessor. With the innovative freehub, the engagement angle is reduced from 0.52° to just 0.41°, which is achieved thanks to 30 additional teeth. This reduces the resistance of the freehub by 60 %, and you can disassemble and maintain your hubs without special tools, which makes them so unique. Last but not least, the hubs are also approved for use in your e-bike for motors up to 65 Nm.
Rims
If you don't want to compromise, here is the perfect rim for your adventures. Light, stable and durable, there are no limits on the trail and your buddies will only see your rear wheel.
ENVE is breaking new ground with the M6 series. Different constructions on the front and rear wheels ensure specific characteristics and bring your full potential to the trail.
Particular attention has been paid to comfort. A new rim shape and an improved carbon laminate increase compliance. This allows the rim to adapt better to the surface and absorb shocks. This significantly prevents the rider from tiring prematurely.
The inner rim width has also been increased, allowing the use of very wide tires, which generate more grip and can also absorb bumps better.
The wide hookless bead technology ensures the best tubeless compatibility and high puncture protection. The special shape of the hookless rim flange distributes the occurring forces over a larger area and reduces the probability of punctures by 50 % compared to the previous rim. Lateral crushing is also much easier to absorb, which means that the rim is more forgiving of the occasional riding error.
The spoke holes are specially designed for the nipples supplied. This guarantees even tension and a very solid wheel. The Nyloc insert prevents the spokes from loosening on their own and significantly increases durability.
ENVE carbon rims are developed by ENVE in the USA and manufactured to the highest quality standards at the company's headquarters in Utah. ENVE's engineers have years of experience with the use of carbon in the field of cycling and know what requirements a top product such as these rims must meet. At ENVE, every effort is made to utilize the advantages of carbon and eliminate its disadvantages. Stiff and extremely light rims have been developed in which all fibers can run without interruption, which corresponds to the best possible utilization of the material thicknesses. This principle was perfected for the spoke holes, with continuous fiber strands forming the receptacle for the spoke nipples. Aluminum inserts, which are quite common in other carbon rims, can therefore be dispensed with during production. This reduces the weight and at the same time allows significantly higher spoke tensions, which in turn allow the construction of stiffer wheels.
Wheel construction at R2-Bike
Our wheels are assembled entirely by hand by our wheel builders. During the entire assembly process, great importance is attached to ensuring that not only the concentricity is correct, but also that the spoke tension is as even as possible. This special care allows us to give the first owner a lifetime guarantee against spoke breakage, as long as it was not caused by force.
The following services are also included for first-time buyers:
You get a universal wheel bag for all common sizes included.
You will receive a spare spoke with nipple in all required spoke lengths so that you can repair the wheel quickly after an accident.
Within 2 years of purchase, you will receive a free initial inspection of the wheel, where the resulting work is completely free of charge. Only shipping costs are incurred.
You get a crash replacement promise: If your wheel is damaged within 2 years of purchase due to force majeure, we will rebuild it once. We grant a 100% discount on all labor costs and only charge for the material.
