i believe (not positive) they're just rebranded IRO/formula hubs. i've been told that in the UK systemx is sort of the same as formula - just a decent, sealed bearing track hub.
i've been told (not sure if this works) that you can buy a formula hub (or the like) and spend about $10-20 on phil wood bearing, and it will roll much smoother.
