Completely re-engineered using insights gleaned from more than 100,000 original Hydra hubs in the field, Hydra 2 features a newly designed 65% thicker axle, larger 6903 bearings with new labyrinth seals, and enlarged pawl pockets that ensure bombproof durability under the most demanding conditions.
6 Pawl Hydra 2 Freehub Body provides a groundbreaking 870 P.O.E. Hydra 2 Freehub body engages every .41 degrees yielding telepathic control
Refined drive ring and increased tooth counts on each pawl provide increased relability and engagement with less drag
Designed specifically for trail, enduro, and downhill riders with the strength to handle full-power ebikes
Scalloped flanges on Hydra2 j-bend hubs increase overall strength, and remove excess material for a lighter, stronger hubshell
Revised axle design is 65% thicker with an improved stress washer design
Larger, 5.5mm pawl pockets that evenly distribute force 26% better, preventing deformation of the pockets over years of use
Full-contact radial lip seals paired with proximity dust shields keep grit and grime out, and lubrication in
Durable 6903 bearings are used throughout for smooth, long-lasting performance

Great softer materials but not the same support as the previous season. Pockets are large enough to fit stuff but the straps don’t support well. No chance you’re getting a water bottle in there. Also the bin straps position themselves right on top of your nipples. You’re going to notice that after an hour of pedaling and sweating.
I really liked the previous version so
Much that I wore 2 pairs out with 6000 miles. These new ones will be lucky to make it into rotation.
