It is likely that those are old ones. When I started the search for really quiet or silent hubs, Shimano was mentioned. Well, since I needed disc and 28H, I had few options. For the proven option, there was Onyx, so I went with them. I love quiet hubs and I absolutely love silent hubs like the Onyx. I am not sure why Shimano never wanted to build modern disc hubs for the aftermarket. I'd guess too much competition there already with Chis King, DT Swiss, and a myriad of pawn hubs out there.
