H+Son Hydra rim

Drawing obvious design cues from the hugely successful Archetype, the Hydra is a lighter, wider, tubeless-ready hoop. Of course, you can still use standard clincher tires & tubes if tubeless isn't your thing.

Crafted from G609 alloy, the Hydra weighs a mere 455 grams and builds up into a light, strong wheel. The 25mm width is optimized for the fitment of 25/28mm tires, providing a more comfortable ride without the squishy feeling commonly associated with using bigger rubber.

The Hydra does not have a reinforced brake surface and is not compatible with rim brakes. Yes, we know that Blue Lug posted a bike on their Instagram that had Hydras and rim brakes on it, but we don't care because we live in reality.
