So let's say you need 30 Nm of torque to defy gravity on a steep hill, going from 40 to 60 Nm there might feel like you're tripling your power (one has 10 Nm of torque above the minimum amount required, the other has 30 Nm in excess of the minimum required to get up that hill). You need a certain amount of torque to defy gravity, and the amount the torque exceeds that by is what you're perceiving. Going from STePS 5000 to STePS 6100 is a 50% increase in torque, but on a hill it will feel like an even bigger difference. If you do a lot of hills, you might not find the 40Nm of torque to be sufficient. ![]() If you're mostly riding on flat ground, you'll probably like it. I've ridden Steps 5000, and it's a lightweight and low-profile system that feels smooth and consistent so there's a lot to like about it.
