    What is Sidekick?

    The Sidekick Hub by e*thirteen is a revolutionary rear mountain bike hub designed to enhance suspension performance by eliminating pedal kickback and filtering chain vibration. 

  • E*Thirteen

    How does Sidekick Work?

    A proprietary freehub mechanism disengages the drivetrain from the rear wheel when coasting, and an adjustable engagement deadband filters kickback and chain vibration before it reaches the pedals, isolating all pedal feedback from the suspension.

    What is Pedal Kickback?

    Pedal kickback occurs when suspension movement applies tension to the chain, causing unwanted pedal movement and compromising suspension performance.

    What is Flux?

    Inspired by the legendary strength and durability of our LG1 Race rims, our riders called for discipline-specific DH and Enduro rims that pair our historic resilience with a more forgiving and compliant ride. The Grappler Flux Rim is our response: a masterpiece of engineering designed to deliver the robustness racers trust, with enhanced ride quality for peak performance and comfort.

    How are Flux rims different?

    Grappler Flux rims are a fusion of unique low-profile rim sections materialized in high-modulus carbon fiber or 6069-AL, meticulously engineered for the ultimate balance of strength and compliant, controlled ride feel. These innovative rims redefine performance in mountain biking, offering a new dimension of durability, ride quality, and comfort.
