Sylvan Sidekick Pro Flux Carbon All Mountain Rear MTB Wheel

Sylvan Sidekick Pro Carbon Wheels have been meticulously engineered to deliver all the comfort and performance of our Grappler Sidekick Flux Wheels, in a lightweight package for Trail and All Mountain riders.

Second-generation Sidekick Pro Straight Pull hubs are 160g lighter and feature a wider 9°/13°/18° adjustable deadband that eliminates pedal kickback, enhancing suspension performance and filtering drivetrain shock and vibration before it reaches the rider. The faster engagement 9° narrowest deadband setting feels more like traditional hubs when climbing is a priority, and tool-free deadband adjustment allows you to increase the degrees of deadband depending on terrain, maximizing anti-kickback effects when the going gets rough.

The results on short to medium travel bikes are a smoother, less fatiguing ride, and a feeling of more usable suspension, without affecting the intended frame kinematics.

Front and rear specific, low-profile Flux Pro Carbon rims set new standards in compliance, strength, weight, and performance. Flux Pro 43 Carbon rims allow for lightweight, agile, and exceptionally compliant front wheels. Flux 54 rims are used in rear wheels for added durability without compromising a lively ride dynamic.

Together, Sidekick and Flux provide increased comfort, enhanced speed and traction, and a nimble ride feel that makes every trail more fun. Efficient, predictable suspension performance and reduced rider fatigue make Sylvan the perfect wheelset for long days in the saddle, including the odd white-knuckle descent. The nearly silent hub operation of Sidekick also creates a more confident and immersive ride experience for both pros and enthusiasts.

Shoud you ever need it, they're backed by a lifetime free rim replacement warranty, for peace of mind and long-term value.
