A complete all-mountain rear wheel built around e*thirteen's Sidekick hub, which uses an adjustable deadband to absorb chainstay growth and cut pedal kickback before it reaches the rider.

Highlights

  • Sidekick hub with 9°/13°/18° adjustable deadband cuts pedal kickback
  • Near-silent 3-pawl engagement
  • Hookless, tubeless-ready Flux 54 aluminium rim, 30mm internal width
  • Double-butted spokes with Secure Lock brass nipples

Sidekick hub technology

The tool-free adjustable deadband lets a rider dial in how much drivetrain shock and vibration the hub filters before it reaches the frame, improving suspension performance on rough trails.

Compatibility & fit

148x12mm Boost rear axle with an XD driver fitted; not compatible with non-Boost (142x12mm) frames. Choose 27.5in or 29in to match your frame.
