The Posi Trac's just came out, so not a lot of people will know how well they are. Just get a BTR for the rear and a Posi Trac for the front, or vice versa lol.

Raptors are good, I ride one rear and it holds up.
The only pro I see in the Subrosa hubs is that they are LHD/RHD reversible.
Just give them a try.

Raptor Front, BTR rear. Proper Female axle on the BTR as oppossed to the shemale axle on the Subrosa. Theyre the same company basically so i wouldnt be surprised if theyre the same internals.

the raptor shit up on me, the btr is stronger tho, not too sure about bushings in drivers, always prefered normal bearings, i would give those subrosa hubs a try
