Hex core wire is supposed to make the windings less prone to slippage. It does also make the string somewhat stiffer, i.e. less supple, which some find desirable.

A stiffer string should be good when tuning down

Lo Riders play noticeably different from other types of strings. In the end I felt like they werent a great choice for metal.
