Didn't weigh them, wasn't really an item I cared about as part of the project. The Onyx 15x100mm and 12x142mm are MTB hubs, so overbuilt and not light ...and
the Sprag clutch they use to be so silent is "heavy" as well (215g front, 460gr rear for centerlock). IIRC the estimate was 1850grams.....which the difference from i9 hubs to Onyx is 200grams easy, but you go from absolute silent and no pawl vibration, to a machine gun.
From the little I got to enjoy them before the weather to to absolute ice/snow snot the last almost 2 months, very consistent mass distribution in the rim, and very smooth hubs. Not at all as reactive to cross wind as I feared--although it helps having them shod with 40mm tires.
