Light. Dynamic. Strength to handle any trail.

Sylvan Sidekick All Mountain Wheels break the old rules to revolutionize MTB wheels, by employing the same hub technology as our World cup DH winning Grappler Sidekick wheels, combined with lightweight, low-profile, compliant Sylvan asymmetric All-Mountain rims. Sidekick hubs feature an adjustable deadband that eliminates pedal kickback, enhancing suspension performance and filtering drivetrain shock and vibration before it reaches the rider. Sylvan All-Mountain rims build up light and lively, with an asymmetrical spoke bed to allow lightweight spokes for maximum efficiency. Together, they offer increased comfort, enhanced speed and control, and a lively ride feel that puts wooden-feeling hoops to shame. Efficient and predictable suspension performance, added traction and tracking, reduced rider fatigue, and nearly silent hub operation create a more confident and immersive ride experience for both pros and enthusiasts.

Sidekick anti-kickback hub technology with adjustable deadband eliminates kickback and filters drivetrain vibration, improving ride feel and suspension performance

Exceptionally low drag and whisper-quiet operation of Sidekick gives free speed, carrying more momentum than other freehub systems

Ultra-compliant, low-profile asymmetric Sylvan Race Aluminum rims enhance comfort and control

Race Level Builds: handbuilt to exacting precision with Sapim D-light spokes and locking alloy nipples for ultimate performance and longevity

Compliant rim designs combined with Race Level double-butted 28 spoke build gives a lively ride feel, making for a responsive and dynamic ride

Tested on the World Cup and fully serviceable and rebuildable means ultimate reliability, so you can push your limits and ride with confidence
