e*thirteen Sidekick Rear Hub - Black/Silver

The Sidekick rear hub features a unique anti-kickback drive mechanism with adjustable deadband providing smooth suspension performance reduced fatigue and near-silent operation for an unparalleled riding experience. Its groundbreaking freehub mechanism disengages the drivetrain from the rear wheel when coasting and an adjustable deadband filters kickback and chain vibration before it reaches the pedals virtually eliminating pedal feedback effects on suspension. With the drive mechanism disengaged from the ratchet ring drag is significantly reduced. The result is an impeccably smooth ride over the roughest terrain improved traction heightened speed and control and reduced fatigue. Its nearly silent operation immerses you in the outdoor experience letting you hear nothing but the wind in your ears and your tires on the trail.

Adjustable pawl-pusher allows tool-free tuning of deadband between 12° 15° and 18° to suit rider preference bike type and terrain

Chain tension filtered by the deadband ensures suspension is unhindered by resistance from pedal kick-back resulting in improved more consistent performance and simpler setup
