A magnetic sensor system includes a toothed wheel configured to rotate about a rotation axis that extends in an axial direction, wherein the toothed wheel includes a plurality of teeth and a plurality of notches arranged that define a circumferential perimeter, wherein the toothed wheel further includes an interior cavity arranged within the circumferential perimeter; a front-bias magnet arranged within the interior cavity of the toothed wheel, wherein the front-bias magnet is rotationally fixed and is magnetized with a magnetization direction that extends along a radial axis of the toothed wheel; and a magnetic sensor arranged exterior to the toothed wheel, wherein the magnetic sensor includes a sensor element arranged on the radial axis that coincides with the magnetization direction of the front-bias magnet and the first sensor element is sensitive to a magnetic field of the front-bias magnet that is aligned with the radial axis.
