Industry Nine Hydra Trail 270 29in Boost Wheelset

Unmatched engagement and trail-tuned control from the Hydra Trail 270 29in Boost Wheelset

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "These wheels completely changed how my trail bike rides. The instant Hydra engagement is unreal on tech climbs, and they stay stiff and true through everything from desert chunk to loamy singletrack."

When we’re pushing hard through corners or ratcheting up technical climbs, we need wheels that respond immediately and hold their line with confidence. That’s exactly what the Industry Nine Hydra Trail 270 29in Boost Wheelset delivers—lightweight agility and class-leading hub engagement, tailored for modern trail riding.

At the heart of the system is I9’s Hydra hub, offering a blazing-fast 0.52° of engagement—perfect for punchy climbs and precise technical moves. The 27mm internal rim width pairs well with 2.3–2.5in tires, giving us ideal support and shape without compromising weight. Laced with I9’s signature aluminum spokes, these wheels blend lateral stiffness with vibration damping to reduce fatigue on long descents. From backcountry loops to after-work hot laps, this wheelset is ready to elevate every ride.
