Built to Ride

Industry Nine hubs are machined, anodized and assembled entirely in their Asheville, NC manufacturing facility. You can fully service the hubs with standard bearing tools, no proprietary tools required.

Musical Hubs

Even though they look the same, the different systems of the Hydra and Torch do make different sounds. Haven’t heard enough? You can also listen to the 1/1 in its overview video.

Grease Vs Oil

Dumonde produces a line of resilient and effective oils and greases, as a result, Industry Nine suggests Dumonde as a lubricant for their hubs. The Hydra hub has the option of using either Dumonde’s thicker grease or their lower viscosity oil. Each one affects how the hub behaves and the level of maintenance required. Check out our blog post to learn more.
