The Silent, No-Lag Hubs by Onyx Racing Products

Minnesota hub manufacturer Onyx has a silent, no-lag hub that uses a sprag clutch. Onyx makes hubs for all kinds of bikes. We've not test-ridden these hubs, but we'd like to give them a go and see how they ride. For e-bike owners with torque sensing technology, on the surface, this system could make a significant difference in performance, with power coming on instantly instead of that momentary wait before hub pawls engage.

Love the idea of a silent hub. Many of my simple single free screw on sprockets for MTB single speed were super quiet... Just a great way to ride. Well done Onyx. I hear they are popular for BMX over here in the UK too. How do you rate them for MTB use?

I have them on my MTB (FR/DH bike). Don't ride too often or too hard, but they hold up great so far. I was on the fence between going balls out with Profile Elite 204 POE buzzing madness or these silent Onyx. I went with Onyx and I couldn't be happier so far. I went for a ridiculous setup (mix of old school and modern standards), you can configure pretty much anything you can imagine. The customer service replied to my (maybe) silly questions promptly and quickly too.
Still considering the Profile ones for another build in the far future, though.
