Innovation of the Year Winner | Pinkbike Awards 2024.
e*thirteen´s Sidekick hub features a unique anti-backlash drivetrain mechanism with adjustable deadband, providing smooth suspension performance, reduced fatigue, and near-silent operation for an unparalleled riding experience.
The Sidekick hub is a revolutionary milestone in mountain bike wheels.
Designed and tested with the world´s top teams and racers for several seasons, the Sidekick Hub promises to improve the suspension performance of any full-suspension mountain bike.
Its innovative freehub mechanism decouples the drivetrain from the rear wheel when coasting, and an adjustable deadband filters out chain kickback and vibration before it reaches the pedals, virtually eliminating the effects of pedal feedback on the suspension.
With the drivetrain decoupled from the ratchet ring, drag is significantly reduced.
The result is an impeccably smooth ride over the roughest terrain, improved traction, increased speed and control, and reduced fatigue.
Its near-silent operation immerses you in the outdoor experience, allowing you to hear only the wind in your ears and your tires on the trail.
-The adjustable ratchet lever allows tool-free adjustment of deadband between 12°, 15°, and 18° to suit rider preference, bike type, and terrain.
-Deadband-filtered chain tension ensures suspension isn´t hindered by pedal kickback resistance, resulting in improved, more consistent performance and easier setup.
-The 60T ratchet ring with an innovative lever-driven ratchet system provides quiet operation and reduces drag by remaining disengaged unless pedaled.
-Reduced kickback, chain slap, and vibration mean a quieter, more comfortable ride.
-Maximum reliability:World Cup-proven and fully repairable and rebuildable, so you can push your limits with confidence.
