Industry Nine Triad Carbon Wheelset Sapim Race Steel Spokes

Industry Nine Triad Carbon Rim + Sapim Steel Spokes

Built for aggressive trail and enduro riding, the Industry Nine Triad Carbon combines a high-impact carbon rim with the proven reliability and serviceability of traditional Sapim Race steel spokes. This configuration is ideal for riders who want premium carbon performance while retaining a conventional J-bend spoke system that is easy to service and replace.

The Triad Carbon uses We Are One Convergence carbon rim technology, with a refined carbon laminate designed specifically for demanding terrain. The updated CU-B laminate increases impact strength by 25% while maintaining a controlled, compliant ride feel that helps reduce trail chatter through rough rock gardens, roots, high-speed corners, and hard landings.

With a 30mm internal rim width, the Triad provides a supportive platform for modern aggressive mountain bike tires. Its relatively shallow 18mm rim depth contributes to a ride quality designed around traction and control rather than excessive stiffness—giving riders confidence when terrain gets steep, fast, and technical.

Paired with Sapim Race J-bend steel spokes, this build offers a familiar and highly serviceable wheel construction. Sapim Race spokes use a double-butted design that balances strength, weight, and elasticity, making them an excellent match for riders looking for a durable wheel that can withstand aggressive riding while remaining straightforward to maintain.
