Aggresive With A Capital "A"
If you've ever ripped Blue Ridge Mountains trails in Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, you know the steep, rocky nonsense that you have to put your bike through. This environment is where the Industry Nine Enduro 305 V3 29" Wheelset was born. Based in Asheville, North Carolina, Industry Nine employs some of America's best MTB wheel builders who are also seasoned single track shredders.
The Enduro 305 is hands-down the most aggressive alloy MTB tubeless wheelset on the market. I9's old Enduro 305 wheelset is now re-invented to improve your ride experience while protecting you from pinch flats.
The third generation Enduro 305 is engineered with a shallower rim profile designed to improve radial compliance and traction allowing the rider to minimize trail chatter while holding any line, on any trail.
The latest Enduro 305 wheelset is built with a 45% wider bead wall that reduces the chance of pinch flats and impact damage. If your dream wheelset can keep the pace for all-day sufferfests while also pushing the limits for that bucket list trip to Whistler - the latest generation Enduro 305 is the best option for you.
The Enduro 305 features I9's exceptional 6 pawl HYDRA freehub body, which has 690 points of engagement (P.O.E.). This is the number of points at which a rear hub's ratchet mechanism engages per revolution of the cassette.
The wheelset is also a remarkably light 1850g, so weight is not sacrificed for durability.
The wheelset comes pretaped with valve stems included.
For the cost, this is one of the best wheelsets you can get for all-mountain shredding.
Features
- 32 Hole Mountain System — Versatile, strong, and stiff. I9's 32 hole System hub and spoke chassis forms the foundation of their most capable wheelsets.
- Premium Alloy Rim — High-quality aluminum alloy with weatherproof sublimated graphics, tubeless friendly bead shelf, and a proprietary profile to keep dents at bay.
- Direct Thread/Straight Pull — Straight pull, integrated nipple, one-piece aluminum spokes that thread directly into the hub shell resulting in a solid, flex-free junction. No special tools or service procedures required.
- 6 Pawl HYDRA Freehub Body — I9's groundbreaking 690 P.O.E. Hydra Freehub body engages every .52 degrees yielding exceptional control.
- Approved for use on E-Bikes

Top notch wheels
These wheels are the best I ever had never mind the hydra hubs but the aluminum spokes make the wheels stiff and track so sweet. And got a nice deal from btd. Cheaper then any other places on the web.

Plenty stiff, yet smoother riding than carbon wheels. Love the quick engagement!
These things are robust, yet 50-75 grams lighter than carbon alternatives of similar ilk. These are smart looking and great for heavy riders on bigger tires (2.4"+). I'll take I9 Hydra's over a fancy looking carbon set w/ lesser hubs any day.
