The Rear Max45 All-Axle motor is available in 2 different winding speeds; a slow 7.2 rpm/V option and a standard 9 rpm/V model. If sustained torque is the main objective, then we recommend the slower motor winding and a 52V or higher battery pack since the maximum phase current of the Baserunner/Phaserunner motor controllers will otherwise be the limiting factor in how much power you get.
There are three cassette driver options for each winding. The PAS-only Shimano cassette is the lowest cost option for those who don't need a built-in torque sensor. For those wanting a torque sensor, both a Shimano HG and a higher end SRAM-XDR driver option are available. The SRAM-XD is used in 1x12 drivetrains with small 9 or 10 tooth cogs for better pedaling at high speeds. The axle adapters sets are available for conventional slotted dropouts and for 12mm thru-axle dropouts, for both ~170mm (4" tire) and ~190mm (5" tire) frame standards.
PAS Only Rear Max45 All-Axle Hub Motor for Fatbikes. Slow 5 turn (~7.2 rpm/V) Winding. SRAM XDR Freehub.
You can get a bare hub and lace it into a suitable 32 hole rim yourself, or choose to get a professional wheel build done here at Grin using our stock rim selections and quality Sapim butted spokes. Our head wheel builder Robert has decades of experience and is renowned for building wheels that are nearly bombproof.
If you want Grin to do the wheelbuild, be sure to select either the Silver or Black spoke option from the dropdown menu, along with your preferred rim. By default all wheels will be be dished with the rim dead center between the dropouts, if you require some special dishing offset for an oddball frame please mention that in the order comments.
If you are doing your own wheel build into your own rim, be sure to specify the required spoke length in the order comments to match your selected rim ERD and lacing pattern. If you require a wider rim than the ones we carry, you're welcome to source your own 32 hole fatbike rim and send it to us for your wheel build. Please get in touch with us to get an RMA # for the rim shipment.
