Nextie Wheels with SON Hubs

Gravel in depth

Nextie ARX-W 35 wheels on SON Delux Disc hubs

Our gravel pick from the Nextie and SON parts we build with. The Nextie ARX-W 35 is a hooked carbon rim, 25mm inside, 35mm deep, about 350 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to SON Delux Disc hubs (front wheel) in 24 hole.

• Test results in public. Nextie publishes lab figures for some rims, including stiffness tables and a spoke hole test. On the Ocean 45G it reports 300 kgf at the spoke holes with no cracks or deformation.
• Bearings that need nothing from you. SON uses SKF ball bearings sealed on both sides and lubricated for life, which it says run many tens of thousands of kilometers with no adjustment. All SON hubs carry a five-year warranty.

Nextie AM 40 wheels on SON 28 Disc 6-bolt hubs

Our mountain pick from the Nextie and SON parts we build with. The Nextie AM 40 is a hookless carbon rim, 34mm inside, 32mm deep, about 475 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.4 to 2.8 inch tires. We lace it to SON 28 Disc 6-bolt hubs (front wheel) in 32 hole.

• Carbon and coverage that step up by edition. Standard rims are all T700 with a 2-year warranty, Premium adds T800 with 3 years, and Supreme adds fibers like T1000 with 5 years. Nextie says it tuned these mixes over rounds of testing for impact resistance.
• A generator tuned to how you ride. The SON 28 is SON's all-purpose choice, with strong output even at low speed, including for charging devices. The SONdelux is lighter with lower mechanical resistance for fast riders and small wheels, and it gives up some output below 20 km/h.

Nextie CRX 33 wheels on SON Delux Disc hubs

Our road pick from the Nextie and SON parts we build with. The Nextie CRX 33 is a hooked carbon rim, 21mm inside, 33mm deep, about 335 grams in 700c, sized for about 28 to 38mm tires. We lace it to SON Delux Disc hubs (front wheel) in 24 hole.

• A generator with its coil in the center. SON uses a claw-pole generator with the coil placed centrally and carefully made sheet metal parts, which it says keeps losses low when the lights are off. It works without gears or contact, so SON says the generator itself does not wear.
