E*Thirteen's revolutionary new Sidekick hub removes pedal feedback for a smoother, quieter ride.

No pedal kickback for unhindered suspension performance
Adjustable deadband to suit your preference for engagement vs feedback
Excellent rolling resistance for increased speed whilst off the brakes
Near-silent operation and reduced chain slap makes for a quiet ride

These hubs are almost silent. We rate them a 1 out of 10 for loudness.

This is the hub of choice for the aspiring racer looking to get the most out of their bike whilst riding on the edge.

Whilst we have no reports yet on durability, we note they have been tested on the WC circuit under the highest performing athletes on the globe.

Front Sidekick hubs are not yet available in Australia, and are unreasonably expensive. For 15mm front axles, we pair Sidekick with a Yama hub in silver or black, and for 20mm axles we pair with a DT Swiss 350.
