In 2013, Industry Nine changed the landscape of top-spec wheel builds by introducing the Torch Series, a hub driver with lightning-quick engagement. Never a team to be satisfied with the status quo, I9 set to work creating the next benchmark. After 2.5 years of planning, prototyping, and testing in labs and the real-world trails of Asheville, Hydra rewrites the rules with a monstrous leap to 690 points of engagement, or 0.52 degrees between each engagement. Using an independently-phased six-pawl, 115-tooth drive ring, Hydra’s drive system pushes the boundaries of hub technology to achieve something monumental.
The trick behind Hydra’s insanely quick engagement is an innovative new design that utilizes a continually phased system, creating a procession of engagement points between the pawl and the drive ring. By utilizing the inherent flex of the axle, I9 was able to create positive second, third, or fourth pawl contact for even load force distribution. Another benefit of the Hydra design is its ability to temper uncontrolled axle and bearing movements, thus improving bearing life and decreasing resistance. Hydra provides a consistent, reliable engagement without overloading bearings, axles, or hub shells.

DT Swiss has released a new high engagement hub for trail and gravity riders.The new DEG hub still utilizes DT Swiss' ratchet system, but the ratchet itself is almost twice as big as the current ratchet in order to match the large hub shell of the new hub. The max number of teeth available used to be 54, but the new DEG ratchet has grown to 90 teeth, which provides 4º of engagement angle, greatly reducing the play between engagement points.
