Silence is the new flex. Loud noisy hubs only mask the rattle, clunks and clicks on a bike that’s not well maintained. But throw on a silent hub and fix all the noise, you’ll be a trail ninja. Get ready to enjoy the sounds of tires interacting with dirt, whooshing wind from speedy descents, and your own heavy labored breathing from almost dying from a climb.

I ran Stealth back in 2009 or so and loved them. Running Onyx now and I'll say that the sponginess is in my experience specific to the vesper hub. It's a single row clutch. The classic is double row and feels pretty well identical to my Stealths. That said, I'm certain the Box hubs will be fantastic.

Cheaper than Onyx but my boost centerlock Onyx Vesper is 380g for the rear. This is 100g heavier. It's 25% cheaper, but that front hub is also expensive. You can get DT 350 front hubs for $80 so how is this one better than that? I also wonder about the load carrying ability of the roller bearing on that smooth drum. Enduro bearings aren't quality bearings.

Silent!!! Its better in EVERY way, with only 2 potential drawbacks. 1:As you mentioned in the video without the constant buzzing drowning everything out,it exposes every single minor noise your "super quiet" (or so you thought) bike makes. 2: Other riders and trail users on the other side of a blind turn can't hear you coming until its too late. I have the latest XTR rear hub with Shimano's new silent hub tech they call SCYLINCE, and i was flying down a multiuse trail, came around a blind corner and almost smacked into a horses butt. Barely swerved but spooked the bajeebus outta the horse because i saw it rear up on hind legs and heard it whinny for its life. I yelled sorry over my shoulder,but felt really bad. I now have a little 105db speaker strapped to the center of mybar, through my stem that came with a little remote that had 2 buttons. 1 to cycle threw the 8 sounds it has and a 2nd to just use whichever sound you selected as a horn. I chose this jack in the box pop goes the weasel sound HAHAHA

@Maciej Jan Długosz It took a minute for mine to become silent as well. There was this weird period where the hub would buzz when coasting at a slower speed but would then go silent as i picked up the pace. The weirdest part was when I would get up to speed and it would go silent and then if the trail leveled out and I gradually lost speed The Hub would go in and out of buzzing until I slowed down enough for it to buzz constantly. It was hard to get used to I thought something was wrong but I then checked out some forums and turns out this is fairly common with the new XTR rear hub. Takes some longer to break in than others, 300 miles is pretty long. One thing that helped was after finding out about this break-in period, I removed my cassette and then removed the micro spline freehub body and put super web Grease all over the ratchet and pawls. Just a nice thin layer on every surface. Im at somewhere around 480 miles and its totally silent now. If i make an effort to coast as slow as possible, riding the brakes, then i hear the low volume hub clicks but I don't hear anything unless I'm actively trying to

Interestingly that many sports scientists believe that some play before hub engagement is even necessary because how muscle fibres work. The question is what is the sweet spot. Onyx at least has that sponginess that helps a bit in this regard... but in general instant engagement hubs should be used with e-bikes with motors that can generate constant torque. For muscle powered bike - ridiculous. Just a hype.

Lower wages and manufacturing costs in Taiwan where manufacturing is top notch is offset by the effects of shipping and logistics costs including holding more inventory due to the increased lead time of production and the increased cost due to finance costs. 20% is about what It comes down to with a fairly mature supply chain. Equivalent US made goods will be at least 20% more for what is the same end result re: the product at hand. Sucks bc we here in the US can make great stuff but we can’t do it cheaply - note it isn’t necessarily the worker costs but this is where giant executive salaries run afoul of US production as that adds an additional layer of cost for every article of the relevant product throughout the supply chain.

Made in Taiwan, cost reduction 20%, and less local jobs, typical approaches of contemporary globalization. Keep buying Onyx.

Kind of my thought. Is 20 percent savings really worth not getting skilled workers in the industry employed? I know they want to hit a price point and everything to remain competitive. Kinda a bummer though.

The less noise a hub makes the cheaper it is. Can't get past that.. Noisy hubs are the sound of money spinning in my ears...as generally the more money you spend the noisier they get.. Industry 9 hydra is one of my favourite sounds to hear on the trails, just wish i had one on my bike
