Industry Nine SOLiX SL 45 Wheelset
“Pure road riders that want it all… can have it all. Competitive weights, stability and speed across a myriad of wind conditions and all-around versatility make Solix SL 45 a fantastic ‘set it and forget it’ wheelset for all your road rides.” – Industry Nine Website
“The hooked, tubeless-ready 45mm deep rim, matched with the lightning fast and all-weather sealed Solix hub system is adaptable to any riding condition, intended to stay in your quiver for a long time. Our Solix SL hubs not only have durable seals, wicked fast 605 points of engagement and low drag, they also boast a minimal profile to accept 24 straight-pull Sapim CX-Ray bladed spokes, among the fastest, lightest performance steel spokes available.”
