Built for builders. Ready for the trail.

Standard builds are now available for brands and builders developing 32" Trail and XC bikes.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. - Industry Nine announces the Hush, a carbon Trail/XC rim engineered specifically for 32" wheels, now available to framebuilders and OEM partners bringing 32" platforms to market. The Hush gives builders a rim developed for this wheel size from the ground up, not adapted from an existing 29" or 27.5" mold, so they can spec 32" bikes with a partner already established in the category.

Hush was built without Industry Nine's Convergence technology by design, giving the R&D team room to test spoke counts and hub spacings before locking into a single configuration. After testing across the board, 24h 2:1 lacing on Boost spacing paired with Industry Nine's SOLiX hub delivered the best results for XC riding and racing: impact strength and radial compliance in line with a proven 29" wheel, with only a minor drop in lateral stiffness, while the larger diameter adds momentum, approach angle, and roll-over capability riders can feel on trail. Every Hush rim is handlaid in Kamloops, British Columbia, by WR1, Industry Nine's in-house carbon division.

Standard specification:

  • Carbon rim, 24h 2:1, Solix M hub, System spokes

  • ERD: 652mm | Offset: 0mm | Depth: 26mm | Internal width: 30mm | Rim weight: 442g

  • Available in 15x110 and 12x148 spacing

  • MSRP: $2,199 USD, $2,399 CAD, 


"We wanted to support our customers and industry partners as they explore this new wheel size. Hush harnesses our proven expertise in composites and SOLiX System chassis - providing a light, precise, and dependable wheelset which allows riders to leverage the increased capabilities of the 32” platform"- Jacob McGahey, Vice President

Industry Nine will showcase the new offering at the MADE Bike Show in Portland, Oregon, August 21-23, where several handmade bikes from framebuilders in attendance will feature Hush wheels. Retailers, framebuilders and OEM partners interested in the Hush can contact Industry Nine directly or learn more at www.b2b.industrynine.com if they already have an account.
