It might be that I push a bigger gear than most folks (single speeding or on my geared bikes due to \#1FG conditioning) but in my experiences, including with sprang and roller clutch hubs, nothing turns ON like the Hydra.
For the record, I have a number of hours on an Onyx Classic and have had bike-killer-customers who had great experiences with them, so I don’t have anything against the Onyx system I general. I’ve just worked on quite a few Vesper hubs with issues which is why I’m wary of the model Vs. a bit more weight and money.
