Hub Dyno vs Drum Dyno
Connect directly to the hubs, eliminate tyre slip, and capture laboratory-grade data. Here’s how a hub dyno out-classes a traditional roller setup when accuracy, safety and repeatability matter.
| Criteria | Hub Dyno | Drum Dyno |
|---|---|---|
| Mounting Method | Bolts directly to wheel hubs | Tires rest on spinning drums |
| Accuracy | Minimal slip — precise | Varies with tire wear & pressure |
| Safety | No tyre blow-out risk | Higher stress on tires |
| Consistency | Highly repeatable runs | Grip & heat change results |
| Setup Time | Longer initial bolt-up (worth it!) | Quick strap-down |
| Best For | High-power, fine-tuning, AWD, serious R&D | Fast checks, baseline pulls |
