Control SL VI Solix 29in Carbon Boost Wheel

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This is the kind of wheelset you throw on when you want zero lag and absolute confidence. The Solix hubs give near-instant response, and the low spoke count with carbon construction makes the ride feel snappy but stable. It’s a dream setup for aggressive XC and trail riding."

If we had to build the ultimate performance wheelset for modern cross-country racing and high-speed trail missions, the Control SL VI Solix would be the blueprint. Lightweight, stiff, and responsive, it’s engineered to extract every watt of power and transfer it to the trail instantly. The Industry Nine Solix hubs feature 605 points of engagement—meaning just .59 degrees of rotation separates pedal input from forward motion. This micro-engagement redefines acceleration and traction on steep or technical climbs.

The rims are built on the proven Control SL VI carbon clincher platform with a 29mm internal width and zero bead hook design, optimized for wider tubeless tires and aggressive pressures. Specialized upgrades the wheel further with their new carbon spokes in a minimalist 24 front and rear count, saving weight without compromising stiffness. The sealed steel bearings run smooth season after season.

Rated for e-bike use and weighing just 1250 grams, the Solix is purpose-built for riders who want a race-day wheelset that’s tough enough for daily trail abuse. Whether it’s a punchy XC course or backcountry singletrack, this setup is ready to respond the instant you drop the hammer.
