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:
*N42: Highest speed, perfect for downhill racers trying to hit 30 mph, but also the lowest cost option for anyone who isn't pushing their board to the limit. (Stock XR & GT = N42) Curve edition has custom made curved magnets for increased performance.
*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. Curve 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. Curve edition has custom made curved magnets for increased performance.
*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.
