Have you looked at the Velo Orange hubs? I had a rear on my recently
departed Atlantis and I was quite happy with it, Much less money than the
Oynx, but you don't get fancy colors,

Oh my, I was not paying attention to the disc only for 135mm. I guess these
Onyx hubs will have to wait for another bike. The silence and engagement
sound magical.
Onto other hubs then... the silence and durability is what I'm most after,
I won't be doing any super technical bike packing on this
The Vesper has a single sprag clutch, the classic hub has two. If you ride
hard, weigh more than 170, ride loaded, etc, just get the heavier one.
We've had no durability issues with either hub, but then, we spec the hubs
to the riders. They are the best engineered hubs on the market.
Funny, I just ordered a 135 QR Vesper for rim brakes. The Vesper is the
only 135 rim brake option, according to the person I talked to on the
phone. That option is not on their website, which stumped me for years. I
just told them today, "Take it off the secret menu and put it on the
website,
I've got some Onyx road hubs on my road bike from before they offered the
Vesper. The one thing I will tell you is that Onyx hubs are built to last
forever, and I don't think they'd ever put anything out there that won't.
If I were you, I'd just email them directly at sa...@onyxrp.com and see
Bill,
If that's the XT series I absolutely agree, the bearings are bomber and you
cannot run it into the ground.

You know that the 135mm OLN model only comes as a disc hub? The non-disc
hubs are all 130mm. I have one of the older models on a gravel bike, and it
has been perfectly reliable. I do like the completely silent freehub, which
is the reason I bought it. Other than that the new model has swapped

I can't help with the requested advice, but I can say I would regard a
$450-$500 rear hub an unnecessary extravagance on a 2020 Atlantis. I'd buy
a FH-M737, unless I had money burning a hole in my pocket.
