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." - https://alnk.to/5jkYtXY (Industry Nine Website - Affiliate Link)

"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."

SOLiX SL Wheel Lineup:
"The SOLiX SL collection introduces itself as the highest-performing lightweight road and gravel race wheels from i9. It's a platform designed for riders striving to go further, faster - the only limits being their aspiration and imagination. These wheelsets are engineered to minimize drag, addressing everything from the mechanical aspects like the pawl and drive interface to aerodynamic elements."

"This includes CFD-designed rims and straight-pull Sapim CX-Ray bladed spokes anchored in the lightweight, minimalist SOLiX hubs. Riders looking for extra flair can select 11 anodized hub colors, and nine spoke nipple colors from the custom wheel designer."
