1X Tendon Drive
1X's own joint drive: strong motors pull cord-like tendons instead of turning heavy gearboxes, so joints stay soft and easy to push back.

ROBSTRIDE04 QDD 120Nm joint motor
Similarby RobStride
40 N.m rated, 120 N.m peak; 9:1 gearbox; 1.42 kg
Why it's similar. A strong motor with a low 9:1 gear ratio, so the joint stays easy to push back, the same goal as 1X's tendon drive. It drives the joint through gears, not tendons, and 1X has not published its own torques.
