The Sidekick hubs feature an adjustable dead zone that eliminates pedal kickback, improves suspension performance and filters drivetrain shocks and vibrations before they reach the rider. The low-profile Grappler Flux rims set new standards in compliance, strength, weight and performance.

Together, these technological marvels offer increased comfort, improved speed and control, and a lively ride feel. Efficient and predictable suspension performance, increased traction and directional stability, reduced rider fatigue and near-silent hub operation make for a safe and intense riding experience for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
