Does anybody know who makes the hubs and who makes the rims for nukeproofs v2 horizon wheels, I've got a good guess to who, but if anyone knows more.
chosen make the brand x trail hubs....I think nukeproof use the same suppliers for lots of things.
Hard to be 100% sure on the rims as they don't show a detailed profile but the Horizon rims look very much like the Ryde (formerley Rigida) Edge M-30's.
Hub look like Novatechs to me, the Anti Bite Guard 'ABG' logo on the freehubs is a strong clue, as it the fact they put the maximum recommended cog size on the pawls.

Firstly, really good to know that you can get Novatec parts on AliExpress. Secondly, £70 for a Novatec freehub off AliExpress?!
I'd sat hubs look more like Spank (at least Horizon V2, pretty sure V1 is Novatec). As for rims, not sure but I wonder if Fratelli if the hub is Spank.
Same guess here, I was thinking they have similarities to spank hex which are made to their own specs by Tairin, thats what I've heard anyway and the rims look as if Fratelli could be making them along with making rims for several other brands.

You’ve heard wrong!
I thought Nukeproof used Sunn Ringle for their rims? My generator wheels certainly do, there's a sticker saying so.
Sun ringle rims were used for a few years, mtx then inferno possibly another after that, then they moved over to WTB. The V1 horizons got lots of awful reviews but the V2 seems a vast improvement, and now their riders are on them instead of Mavic so they must have faith in the V2 version.
