E-MTB Wheels

E-bikes put more stress on wheels than analog bikes. Higher torque. Heavier weight. Faster speeds into rougher terrain. We engineer for all of it. Wheels come in 29" front wheels and 29" or 27.5" rear, for mullet wheelset setups.

BikeRadar found that "with the Sidekick hub in place, the back end of the bike feels suppler, as if you've switched to a higher-volume shock and increased the amount of travel on tap." Testpilot concluded: "Sidekick will help you push your abilities and limits noticeably."

Grappler Sidekick Flux wheels are Class 1 E-MTB compatible. Sidekick hubs eliminate pedal kickback with an adjustable deadband (12°/15°/18°), improving suspension performance and filtering drivetrain vibration. Low-profile Flux rims deliver engineered compliance without sacrificing lateral stiffness. BikeRadar called them "as forgiving as a good set of alloy hoops, but with a little more zip."

Sylvan Sidekick wheels pair Sidekick anti-kickback hubs with lightweight asymmetric rims for lighter E-MTB and trail bikes. Near-equal spoke tension between drive and non-drive sides for a stronger, more consistent wheel. Lively ride feel for all-mountain duties.

Grappler Race e*spec wheels are purpose-built for full-power E-MTB. The e*spec rear hub features an oversized hub shell, large 6808 bearings, steel axle, and 32-spoke builds to handle higher drive torque and heavier bike weight. Longer bearing life. Better freehub sealing. 6° engagement balances quick response with pedal kickback reduction. E*spec-specific rims are reinforced over analog versions. Carbon and alloy options for Enduro terrain.

Sylvan Race e*spec wheels bring asymmetric rim design to lighter E-MTB builds. 4-pawl, 3° engagement for rapid acceleration on changing terrain. Same reinforced e*spec hub internals.

Lifetime free replacement warranty on all carbon rims. 5-year warranty on alloy.
