The EBMX XLB-60 Race Motor is engineered from the ground up to outperform anything else in its class. Built to handle extreme heat and sustained power output, this motor is the go-to choice for aggressive off-road riders, racers, and anyone demanding the highest level of performance.
Whether you're hammering laps on a track, charging hard through singletrack, or lighting up your favorite trail, the XLB-60 is designed to keep cool, stay smooth, and rip harder than anything else out there.
Battery Upgrade REQUIRED: A high-output battery is mandatory to run the XLB-60 motor on any of the bikes. Do not run this motor with a stock battery setup.
Note: This XLB Race Motor Kit is designed specifically for the V3 EBMX X-9000 Controller. (Please contact us if you need the V2 Controller Kit.)

Why Encoders Matter (vs Hall Sensors)
Unlike many competitors using basic hall sensors, the XLB-60 uses encoder sensors to provide more reliable, real-time rotor position data at all speeds. Here's why that matters:
-
Increased Accuracy: Encoders deliver precise rotor angle data at all times, unlike hall sensors which estimate position after ~2000 RPM.
-
Better Low-End Torque: More consistent data improves torque control when launching or crawling.
-
Eliminates Current Spikes: Prevents erratic behavior during sudden decel or throttle changes — a common problem with hall sensor setups.
-
Improved Controller Protection: Reduces likelihood of controller trips or power cutouts under extreme riding loads.
-
Smoother, More Predictable Powerband: Perfect for technical terrain or competitive riding.
Note: Although this motor is optimized for the EBMX X-9000 controller, it can be used with other controllers — but custom tuning will likely be required.

Recommended Settings
Recommended Gearing
Off-Road:
-
18" Rear Wheel: 58T – 64T (72V system = 75 MPH top speed on 64T)
-
16" Rear Wheel: 54T – 58T
-
17" Rear Wheel: 56T – 60T
Recommended X-9000 Controller Settings
(Assuming 20S / 22S battery with 400A BMS)
Want more range?
Turn Field Weakening to 0%.
With a 64T sprocket on 21/18 wheels and a 72V battery, you can still hit ~65 MPH while extending your range by up to 15%.
