eThirteen Sidekick hub black/sterling silver rear 32H

The e*thirteen Sidekick Hub is equipped with an innovative anti-kickback drive mechanism featuring an adjustable deadband, designed to optimize suspension performance, reduce rider fatigue, and deliver near-silent operation.

Developed in collaboration with top teams and racers over multiple seasons, the Sidekick Hub enhances the suspension of full-suspension mountain bikes by disengaging the drivetrain from the rear wheel when coasting. Its adjustable deadband minimizes kickback and chain vibration before it reaches the pedals, effectively reducing pedal feedback on suspension performance. By disengaging the drive mechanism from the ratchet ring, drag is significantly reduced, enabling smooth riding over challenging terrain, improved traction, better control, and reduced fatigue. The quiet operation emphasizes the connection with the trail, allowing the natural surroundings to take center stage.

• Adjustable pawl-pusher: Tool-free tuning of deadband between 12°, 15°, and 18° to match rider preference, bike type, and terrain
• Chain tension management: Deadband filters kickback to prevent suspension resistance, improving performance consistency and simplifying setup
• Durable construction: 60T ratchet ring with a pusher-driven pawl system ensures silent operation and reduced drag by remaining disengaged unless pedaling
• Reduced noise and vibration: Minimizes kickback, chainslap, and chain vibration for a quieter, more comfortable experience
• Reliability: Tested on the World Cup circuit and fully serviceable, ensuring durability and confidence on every ride
