e*thirteen's Grappler Sidekick Flux carbon rear wheel is built for downhill racing, pairing the anti-kickback Sidekick hub with a 27.5in hookless carbon rim and a 7-speed direct-mount DH cassette driver.

Highlights

  • Sidekick hub disconnects the drivetrain from the rear suspension, cutting pedal kickback on rough DH tracks
  • 157×12mm Super Boost rear axle, integrated 7-speed DH cassette driver (9–24T)
  • 30mm internal width hookless carbon rim, 32-hole
  • 6-bolt rotor mount

Hub and rim

The Sidekick hub uses a triple-sealed, fully machined aluminium body on a steel axle, running a Mini HG-style driver for the 7-speed DH cassette rather than a standard freehub.

Compatibility & fit

Rear wheel only, built for a dedicated 7-speed 9–24T DH cassette (not a standard freehub-driven cassette) on 157×12mm Super Boost frames, 6-bolt rotor mount. The Tune workshop can true and service this wheel.

e*thirteen covers this wheel's carbon rim and hub bearings with a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser, and all other parts for 10 years from the date of purchase, against defects in materials and workmanship. Normal wear and tear and crash damage are excluded. For warranty support, return the product to Tune Cycles and we'll manage the claim with e*thirteen's Australian distributor.
