e*thirteen's Sidekick Pro rear hub fully decouples the drivetrain from the suspension while coasting, so the shock keeps working instead of fighting chain tension – this 32h, 157x12mm Super Boost build runs a MicroSpline freehub.

Highlights

  • Pusher-activated magnetic pawl mechanism retracts fully on coast, for near-zero freewheeling drag and near-silent operation
  • Tool-free deadband, adjustable trailside to 9°, 13° or 18° – tighter for climbing, wider for anti-kickback on descents
  • EZO bearings in the driver and TPX bearings in the hub shell, with nickel-plated pawls and pusher
  • 17mm alloy axle, ASTM 5 rated to 150kg rider weight
  • 6-Bolt disc mount, Black/Sterling Silver anodised finish
  • E-MTB compatible

Compatibility & fit

This SKU is built as 32h, 157x12mm Super Boost with a MicroSpline driver pre-installed. e*thirteen also offers the Sidekick Pro rear hub in the other hole count, the other axle width and with a XD driver, plus an HG driver sold separately as a freehub kit – check your frame's rear-axle spacing and your drivetrain's freehub standard before ordering, as these aren't interchangeable after the fact without a freehub swap. The Tune workshop can lace this hub into a wheel build or service it as part of a wheel or drivetrain service.

e*thirteen's Infinite Ride Warranty covers this hub for 10 years against manufacturing and material defects, with lifetime coverage on the hub bearings; normal wear, crash damage and misuse aren't covered. For warranty support, return the product to Tune Cycles and we'll manage the claim with e*thirteen's Australian distributor. This is in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, so keep your proof of purchase.
