No mention of e-bikes... so I'm assuming not good for e-bikes

I like the grey ones. And the freehubs are reasonably priced.

OneUp hubs are E-bike rated.

Being so, uh, "heavily inspired by" the old DT240 probably means it'll be really good? The workaround with the hub machining is clever, basically removes the worst bit of the 240, how difficult the middle bearing is to access, though, there's still fiddliness that's just moved to the other end.. Lots of nice details, I like the asymetric flanges for the dics brakes, and printing the hub stats on it is a nice touch.

Mostly I'm just surprised by how heavy a Pro 5 front is, how'd they manage that?

I really like products that have the specs on them (torques, angles, lengths).  Nukeproof Mega has the shock length and stroke on the mount.

I'd guess it's those big old bearings that can fit a 20mm axle through them and the extra hub shell material required to accomodate them.

These look awesome. Unfortunately we have two sets of DTs, a Pro 4 hubset and a set of what seem to be bombproof Bontrager hubs in the household, all of which will probably last a good long time. Which is a darn shame, as I'd love to build up a pair of those in green or gunmetal.
Obligatory note: I had to contact OneUp customer service the other day, and they were absolutely superb.

No steel HG freehub for ebike?

I wonder if these started as a project for Reserve wheels, or if they were always in the works at OneUp?

OneUp Hubs use premium EnduroTM ABEC 5 cartridge bearings in standard sizes

This is interesting. Erase components were apparently using Enduro bearings with their first iteration of a ratchet hub. It didn't go so well apparently. I've got a V2 rear hub that uses TPI bearings which seems to be good.
