Industry Nine SOLiX SL 65C Carbon Aero Wheelset (700c) – Shimano HG
The Industry Nine SOLiX SL 65C is a premium carbon aero road wheelset built for riders who want maximum speed on flat and rolling roads, fast bunch rides, criteriums, and race-day efforts. With a full 65mm rim depth front and rear, this wheelset is designed to slice through headwinds and hold momentum when the pace is high—ideal for Australian road riding where open sections and windy conditions are part of the mix.
At the centre of the build is Industry Nine’s low-drag SOLiX hub system, created to keep rolling resistance down while delivering lightning-quick acceleration when you put the power down. The minimalist hubshell profile provides an aero-friendly foundation, laced with 24 straight‑pull Sapim CX‑Ray bladed spokes, a proven high-performance spoke choice for riders chasing efficiency and stability at speed. When the sprint sign appears, SOLiX’s rapid engagement feel helps you get on top of the gear immediately—perfect for townline sprints, criterium surges, and hard attacks.
The 21mm internal rim width supports modern road tyre sizes, and the rim is hooked and tubeless‑ready, giving you the option to run tubeless for improved comfort and puncture resilience while maintaining secure tyre fit. Industry Nine recommends pairing the 65C with 25–28mm tyres to keep the tyre‑to‑rim profile fast and efficient, making it a strong match for riders chasing “free speed” without sacrificing tyre security.
This wheelset is a popular upgrade when you’re building a fast road bike, refreshing your race setup, or pairing premium wheels with a drivetrain tune and tubeless setup service. A professional workshop install can also help dial rotor alignment (if applicable), tyre fit, sealant volume, and correct cassette spacing to ensure the wheelset performs at its best from day one.
