The Onewheel 6" Hub is back!

- Due to popular demand, 6 inch hubs are back and Factory Team Rider, Tyler James is stoked! 6 inch hubs have a bit more sidewall which makes for a slightly less responsive but more cushy ride which really shines off-road. He took the new GT S-Series with the 6 inch Hub and new 6 inch Performance tire for a rip and takes us all along for the ride with him!
Get your 6 inch GT S-Series Hub here
You can get the 6 inch Performance Tire here:
You can buy the Performance Tire pre-installed on the 6 inch Hub ready to drop in and ride and save $50!!! It comes with tire sealant already installed as well. That's here:
Enjoy 6 inch gang!

FM "oh yea we messed up with the idea we could be Apple... you right here's the old 6 inch hub"
Wym
@@Very_Grumpy_Cat cornering the market with suggesting they had a proprietary solution. Apple has achieved this, FM did not.
Hook us up with a trade-in program so we can swap our useless 6.5 in for the 6.
Nope! It will NEVER happen. You might be able to do something with a retailer, but you won't get anything from the manufacturer.
Agreed. That's what they need to do. It's pretty lame since I just purchased my GT-S a month ago.
Lol they'll take another 2 years before that's a thought. Took everything away for the GT Just to release it as "new" for the GT-S lol
Hope this isn't a serious question, lol. Obviously not a business owner either.
You guys shouldn’t have bought the 6.5 hub. Should have stuck with the XR, the LS400 of Onewheels.
Love how his reviewing it like its a revolutionary new product. "Allot more confidence over the chop". Yeah we know..... we been riding 6" from the start..
Acting like it's some brand new never made before 6" hub 🤣🤣🤣🤡
“Today we are gonna try out the 6 inch, been waiting for this one” - Tyler 2024
Aaaaaand we’re back! 😊 But in all seriousness, it’s a new experience on the S-Series
Bro 🤣😂
What would you say about that new 6” Performance tire?
😄
I just bought the GT-S a week ago imma be pissed if there isn’t any sort of exchange program
Some might say that you created a problem and sold a solution, but honestly props for doing the right thing and advancing the company to introduce new options for those who ride these boards harder than your average person. Love to see it.
Totally. Whether you’re a fan of 6.5 or 6, we just wanted there to be an option out there for ya.
I'd disagree. I actually like the responsively that the 6" hub can't offer but I like choice and appreciate they brought it back for those that prefer it.
@@Onewheelany chance for us to level our boards for bent rails? That’s what we really want
Without future motion there would be no onewheel I wish everyone would just stfu about what they should do
@@Yielar1 WTF are you talking about? same diameter. want more responsiveness, get a different tire, increase your PSI, or tune your shaping.
So glad you guys released a better sized hub.
Marketing will say slightly less responsive so that the 6.5 keeps some attraction, when I think most would agree there are zero disadvantages of going with a 6” over a 6.5”.
Rather than try and market both, I think the majority would agree and appreciate if the 6.5 just got discontinued all together or rather that the 6” just came as the new standard. There are virtually zero advantages in going with a 6.5 over the 6. Any change in responsiveness would be little to unmeasurable.
I could see there being a slight responsiveness difference between a 6.5 and 5, but even then.
FM be like, “ It’s Friday let’s release something!!!”
Pretty much lol 😂
Why isn’t FM allowing the option to have it built with 6” from factory. I just ordered a GTS a week ago and would’ve love the option to put a 6. 🤷🏼♂️
Saw the thumbnail come up and thought it was a Float Life video, was surprised to see this is from FM! Not used to seeing them solve the problems in-house. This is awesome!
We’re crankin!
*solved the problems that they didn't need to create in the first place. FTFY
Bodhi production. Just smells like it.
But, I was just about to comment saying they're making 3rd party vendors less interesting lately.
Building back up the FM name good job guys, keep up the good work!
The team is humming right now 🙌
A good move, and convenient with the BTG movement going on.
I'd love to see more modularity when ordering. 6" hub? Add to configuration. Extended rails for 7" tires? Add to configuration. GT-S motor for the GT? Add to configuration.
That would be ideal. It’s an operations and manufacturing nightmare but we’re working on more options from the factory.
@@Onewheel Can we pleeeeeeeeeeease get an option to change tilt digitally for current after-market rails?
@@Onewheel Maybe for these custom builds you can just ship the parts boxed separately and have the customer build their own custom board. I'm sure people will be happy to assemble at home. It is all plug and play anyways. No need to have 5 employees assemblying custom boards.
@@Onewheel fully understand that, having the streamlined "this is the package" ordering options is certainly ideal from a business and manufacturing process, but with you guys coming out with more significant and impactful options for board customization, it greatly benefits the customer and incentivizes them to make those choices where they might not otherwise.
Anyway, thanks for getting the 6" hub out there, that's clutch, and another step in the right direction.
Will you guys sell the GT-S with the 6 inch hub pre installed in the future or is it something that we absolutely have to buy separately? It’d be nice to have the option for those looking to purchase a GT-S
they should make boards more customizable at build, in general. Footpads, tires, motor size, etc.
I’m sure they’ll definitely upsell you every chance they get…
Let’s go. Dreams do come true.
I was close to going back to FM after seeing all the module parts and the 6-inch hub was the tipping point but to NOT INCLUDE IT in a new GTS purchase from the website and instead be forced to pay an additional $925 if you want the 6 in seems like a classic FM move
Tyler says " this is next level guys " well, its actually last level, but the last level was superior to the current level. Next level is 5"
This, right here. Spot on.
I can see them releasing the GT-S5 as their next board with a longer range battery. Price, on the other hand. 🤑🙄
The GT-S5 with a 5" hub & longer battery life is my prediction for the next FM board.
5inch baby !!!
Give it 6-8 months and we'll have a bunch more tires for the 5" hub gang making it an even more viable option
i dont even have a onewheel yet but every day almost yall add more and more I LOVE IT
Should have never changed to 6.5, way too tippy and doesn't absorb anything. Been riding since 2018, started on plus, moved to XR. I loved my XR and immediately hated the way the GT rode. Bought 3 different tires to try to make it a better ride, no good. Bought flat foot pads, no better. I exchanged the GT for the GTs because of the "low boys" foot pad and there is no notable difference. Looks like FM is gonna get another grand from me, but at least I'll love riding again.
This one is for you 🍻 You’ll love it. Have fun out there
If you want a cheaper/better alternative, there’s floatlife offering a 5” hub and 1wheelparts billet hub in 6” or 5” and they are more durable than any fm hub…lol
Wow it only took a good competitor to get what we been asking for. I actually might buy a onewheel some day
Best upgrade to my GT was a The Float Life 5" MTE HUB with ENDURO 655 SOFT tire. Less Wheel and More Tire makes for a Less Bumpy, More Nimble and Smooth Ride. 😎🤙🏻
Definitely happy to see that Onewheel is listening to it's base with the 6" GTS HUB. They are also now selling the GT Replacement Battery; big steps towards what the people want. Next step is being able to balance board with OW App. I have TFL Steep and Deep rails and have the utmost control and feel.
This is awesome! ❤
Getting this for sure!! Ty guys 🤘❤
and yet wont cover my board within warranty and is still saying its out of warranty. im switching to AVD
Let’s gooo! This thing looks Sixck”!
I would have been impressed with an company apology for the 6 and 1/2 inch instead they are spinning it like they're doing something special for everyone
will these be shipping as a stock option in the future?
🤣😂🤣
@@-xoilox-stefan2604 no i am genuinely curious considering they seemed to only have positive things to say about it, itd make sense to stop production of the 6.5 and only run 6 to minimize their production and inventory complexity
Yes they will come stock with a $950 fee
If I buy a brand new gts will it ship with the 6 inch hub?
Will there be a choice of hub when buying a board now? Im not buying a gts to spend yet more money on the hub it should have had in the first place.
Just checked the website, doesn't describe the size of the hub during checkout. So, who knows? I do see the 6" hub on accessories page for a whopping $850!
Not at the moment. Definitely agree that more options out of the factory would be ideal. Looking at some of those logistical challenges.
@@Onewheel sweet. Thanks for the reply. You guys are getting closer and closer to solving all of the concerns the community have had over the years. Just a couple more modular parts and from the factory options and you'll have unlocked beast mode.
@@Onewheel Just transition over to 6" as default in your inventory over the next year. I run a local group of over 300 people and I can guarantee that absolutely not a single person is going to fight on arguing that the 6.5" is a better option.
@@cannonballroc Damn that's insane I was just about to buy the GTS after tax It's about $4,000 with the shipping insurance and now I got to drop another $850. On top of that I think this announcement just delayed me from her making a purchase of the GTS now I don't think they realize how big of a financial commitment that is in the first place. It's really hard to justify spending that much money in the current economic situations we r currently facing And now to add another $850 on top of that and the thought of knowing that hub is a better riding experience would give me buyers remorse. Damn. I feel like I just got salt rubbed in my wound 😢
it should have always been the 6". Huge failure on FMs part for their flagship. Glad to see they got around to fixing that travesty after 2 years.
I just tried to buy a GTS from one wheel with a 6-in hub and was told it is not available and has to be purchased separately for $925 at least that comes with a tire
Next up is FM angled rails, and I’ll buy them.
I'm planning on upgrading for my pint x to a GTS in the next month or two. Does the 6-in hub have the option of coming stock on the GTS or do I have to buy the GTS separately and then the 6-in hub separately and have it assembled after the fact? Just wondering cuz I just looked on the website to see if there was an option to get the GTS with the 6-in hub and I wasn't seeing it anywhere. Thanks for your time
great question 👀
Yes for $950
@@dominicl1167 I thought someone else said it was 850?
@@counterstrike2A850 just the hub but you're gonna need a tire
Nice! Glad you guys have "pushed" FM forward with all the new modular repairs, accessible parts and finally - this 6" hub! This is probably the first big upgrade I will spend for the GTS! Thanks for all of your efforts....things have changed a good bit since FM forged the Pro Team. 💯💥❤️💛💙
It’s been big. We’ve been cranking, proud of the team and stoked for all Onewheel kind
Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...whattttttttttt...let's gooooooooo❤❤❤❤❤
So would this work for the XR as in only if it’s got the 52N magnets in it?
So are new GT-S's coming with the 6" hub from now on? Like if I ordered one right now would it come with the 6"?
I can answer that question for the sum of around 800$.
@@joe5834$850 plus a tyre! Haha 😂
Make it an option when buying a new gts and I will buy one now
OPPORTUNITY TO SELL A LOT OF BOARDS... reach out!
Are there any plans for a 5”? I don’t want to go buy the 6” and then week or two you drop a 5”. Kinda like the soft lowboy foot pads. I got those and then couple weeks later you drop the flared lowboys which I would have much preferred. Just would be nice to have some sort of game plan people could look at and see what is dropping in the near future.
Why would you create a problematic 6.5 inch hub in the first place when your XR 6.0 is superior. Why not make it stock on GT series. Is it because anti 3rd party and tire limitation? Now people need to shill $850 or $925 to fix the problem. I felt a bit cheated tbh. I wish it just come stock on the day I purchased my GT.
Hell yeah this is awesome. Will the be a trade in program if we have an old xr motor?
Our XR Trade In Program ended a few months ago. But this motor is for GT platforms. However since the tire is also being sold separately, it technically should fit onto an XR
Holy cwap
Fix the xt60 already. It's a serious issue on the GT
💯
Notice how they didn't comment back..
Soooo Performance Tire will be available soon for XR’s?
Nope
yes. You can buy the tire separate on the oneewheel website right now
@@TheCobaltsaber sweet! I jumped the gun while I was listening to the video I went to the site and saw the wheel and tire combo so looked at the tires separately and wasn’t there. But it is now!
Technically it should fit and the tire is sold separately
@onewheel is it available soon? Need one before northwest electric fest and I'll order a board today if I can have it on my board!!
we must order the motor/hub separate from a new gts order
Curious: If the 6 is so much better and is compatible with GT and GTS, what was the point of the 6.5 in the first place?
👀 👂🏾 ⏳️
proprietary greed
Looks sick. But theres no link and I can't find it on your website
Go to the GTS hub page and you can select the size/combo you want there
what if mandem jus want the hub 😑
New to riding, can someone explain the benefit of a bigger vs smaller hub? Does it also mean a change in tire size?
Smaller hub = more compliant on rough roads and trails due to taller side wall.
*a change in tire sidewall size. bigger better cushion for the pushin
Is this compatible with the regular GT?
great question, hopefully they won't neglect to give you an answer ⏳️ the stock GT stator in fact compatible but they are not sellin it separately.... 👀
It sure is. You can put either S-Series motors into your GT and get the increased low end torque!
I’m bonkin in the bronx.
You gotta love the ole Windy City
Why the switch to the 6.5 inch hub? Since I just purchased a GT-S, will FM be sending me the 6 inch hub for free?
The stock GTS will highly likely ship with the 6.5 still.
There's no way they're sending you a 6" for free bro.. it's costs $900 🤣🤣
925 with tire
Y’all should do a giveaway but only to me 😂
When is racing the rail
But im not seeing it on the site
Says gt-s but why couldn’t you put this on a gt? Did they change the screw placements?
can we expect performance rails soon too?
We could definitely use a leveling feature for the GTS or any FM board running stock firmware for aftermarket rails
@@mlastudioproductions yup!!
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO🤣🤣🤣
not compatible with the XR i assume?
The motor? No it has a different connecting plug. The tire technically will fit if you want to buy that by itself
Dont you loose clearance? I got that confidence and feels were good but did I miss something? Wondering from you 6 inchers what the advantage is in your opinion. Im new to this so thanks in advance and loved the video and love my onewheel.
The tires are the same diameter, the same size, if you will, it's just the rim is different.
With a 6" hub you have an extra half inch of sidewall to not only protect the rim of the hub but the extra rubber allows the tire to flex more, absorbing impacts and provide cushion.
Bigger sidewall buddy. Overall diameter is similar. Can run lower psi due to sidewall height. More tyre choice as well.
@@SeanPaulNotTheSinger how does a smaller rim effect range? does it increase it?
@@rocknrory I haven't noticed a change going from the 6.5" stock Hub to the 5" MTE Hub. Or at least the delta is insignificant enough to be an anomaly. Your PSI has more to do with range than any other factor
@@SeanPaulNotTheSinger gotcha 👍🏼 thanks for educating!
It's "way better over the chunk!"
It's so way better we did away with it, but NOW WE JUST WANT YOUR MONEY! You need 2 hubs, motors and tyres for your onewheel ha ha!
I'll keep my money and you can keep your GT & GTS
What was it before?? We need some context.
6.5"
The context is they screwed up by trying to monopolize their gt wheel with a 6.5”. The community came up with going back to 6” and even 5” hubs.. they are losing money and riders so they brought back the 6” like they’re doing the community a favour.
👆🏾
LFG
you could corner the market and make 5.5 hubs and tires to go with it.
😄
gosmilo already has that lmao
Wait what?
lol
What is the difference between this one and the stock one? He says it’s amazing but never explains what the ‘difference’ is and why is better than the stock one. 🤔
they really could've 😑 its basically answered in the comments
@@jaefrmbk2k I know, but all OW riders are not 20 something. I am 45 and have 3 kids. I have no idea what this does compared to the stock one. Maybe you can help me? I think Future Motion should not assume everyone understands the difference by posting a video just saying: ‘It’s dope dude.’
Just saying. We, older riders, exist too.
@@BenjaminTemplar I'm in the same boat so i can relate 🤙🏾 since they made the hub a half inch smaller (the way it used be 6inches before they widened it to corner the tire market) you can fit a tire that holds more air hence more cushion/ comfort/control for the pushin. however this is not currently an option selection for a new GTS buyer (you have to buy Another motor to get the 6" hub size 🤯🤔) nor is there an option for you to purchase the 6" hub separately 😑
@@jaefrmbk2k Thank you friend. See, this is exactly the information that should be included within an official Future Motion release. I had absolutely no clue about all these matters until you outlined them for me here. Thank you very much matey!! Safe riding!! 😊👍🏻👍🏻
@@BenjaminTemplar 🎉 you too Famly 💪🏾
I swear this company takes two steps forward and one step backwards all the time
Just the biscuit and your money, because of course everyone needs two wheels!
wait so if you make the hub 6" like it used to be, so that you have more sidewall & more cushion for chunk it feels Better plus Much more tire options?? NOOOOO 😂🎉🤙🏾
yes? not sure if this is a question or not. But we did it
Seems like a win
July is coming. allow new GTS buyers to select 6" hubs as a customization option, sell the 6" hubs separately & enable board releveling 🙃
Yay now all the babies on Reddit can stop crying 😂
actually hate this company
@tylertheexplorer_ Father’s Day is coming up…. Just sayin!
