MTE 5" Hub - GT/GT-S/XRC Compatible
Product Description
Remember how big of a difference it was going from a 6" XR hub to a 6.5" GT hub? Well double that feeling, but in the other (actually good) direction and you'll start to get an idea of how amazing the MTE 5" hub rides.
Magnet Strengths:
*N48: Jeff's Favorite, a balanced option for those who like to ride through pushback at around 23 mph, and also want a little extra torque for climbing hills. Curved edition has custom made curved magnets for increased performance.
*N52: Highest torque option, perfect for anyone who "respects pushback" and keeps it around 20 mph, and also wants the maximum extra torque for hills. Curved edition has custom made curved magnets for increased performance. Riders with GT-S motors will want this option.
*Note: All our magnets are high temp rated meaning they can survive overheated motors without degrading in strength.
For GTS riders:
We recommend the N52 which is nearly identical to the stock GTS hub performance. The N48 or N42 will also work but you'll lose 5-10% torque with the benefit being an even higher top speed if that's what you're looking for.
Tapered Roller Bearings:
TRB are the cutting edge in Onewheel™ bearing technology. Bearing changes are now a thing of the past thanks to TRB! If you're looking for the longest lasting, smoothest bearings available for your Onewheel™, you found them.

Bought this with trb, idk if it’s the bearing or the hub but the first time I ride this I can tell right away the difference. It’s like riding in a cloud
I'm loving the 5" hub with pioneer tire on my GT! I live in south tahoe and ride single-track almost daily. The torque increase is very noticeable and made climbing some steep hills nearly effortless. Even starting from a standing stop on an uphill was way smoother and less surging when climbing.
GET ONE!!

These hubs are a work of art not to mention the amazing choice of colors and the ability to have bearings installed before shipped is also a nice touch. There is a night and day difference in the ride with an Enduro 655. Single best upgrade to have.
