Lonex High Speed Gears (~16:1)

This is a high speed gear set made by Lonex. These are about 16:1 which is faster than stock but will still provide enough torque for mid range springs. Lonex uses high quality steel in the construction of these gears and the gear shape is much more carefully machined than other Chinese sets so they are smoother, quieter, and more efficient. Stock gear sets are around 18:1. For some reason many manufacturers don't actually label the ratio, but rather use code names. This is the same ratio as most manufacturers "high speed" gear sets. A note about airsoft gears: Upgrading gear sets is done for two reasons. The first is that after market gear sets are much stronger and better made than stock gear sets. The second is to provide higher rate of fire or higher velocity. The key factor that allows a gear set to do these things is that it allows the motor to operate closer to it's peak power. The peak power that a DC motor provides is at 50% no load speed and 50% max torque (it's a linear relationship). For instance if you run a stock motor and stock 18:1 gears with a strong spring like a m130 the rate of fire will be very low. This is because the motor has to provide a lot of torque which puts it below it's max power output speed and torque level. If you were to install a gear set with a higher ratio the motor won't have to provide as much torque and will be closer to it's max power, which increases your rate of fire. This applies the same way for increased rate of fire, weak spring and stock gears will put a stock motor to far above it's peak power. Because of this relationship gear set ratios should only be changed in conjunction with a spring and/or motor change and are often only necessary for large changes in those. Installing a high speed gear set in an otherwise stock gun might only increase your rate of fire slightly or even decrease it depending on the stock spring and motor combination.
