Electric Cycle Works Pro Tuning Tips

• Easy OEM Hardware Swap: Because these CNC billet hubs match factory spacing, you can easily transfer your original brake rotors and rear sprocket without requiring adapters.

• Tire Pressure Setup: For technical trail riding, we recommend running 14 to 15 PSI in both tires to maximize traction and absorb trail impacts.

• Build Lead Times: In-stock wheelsets without tires ship immediately! However, please allow a 1 to 2-week lead time for orders with mounted tire packages so our team can mount, inflate, and inspect your setup.

ION 18/21″ Performance Wheelset Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this rear wheel dishe specifically for the Arctic Leopard?

Full-sized 18″ motocross tires feature wide side knobs. Because swingarm clearance is tight on the Arctic Leopard XE Pro, this rear wheel is offset-dish during assembly to pull the tire away from the drive chain, preventing premature tire wear and chain damage.

Can I reuse my stock brake rotors and drive sprocket?

Yes! The 6082-T6 billet hubs feature factory bolt patterns, allowing you to bolt your OEM brake rotors and sprocket directly onto the new wheelset.

Will an 18/21″ setup fit the shorter black forks on an older XE Pro?

No, not safely. Running a 21″ front wheel on short black forks risks hard tire contact with the lower triple clamp under full travel compression. You must either upgrade to 775mm extended Gold forks or install a drop crown triple clamp before running a 21″ front wheel.
