More about e*thirteen Wheels

Your suspension can only do so much. Sidekick hubs pick up where it leaves off.

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: "You will use a wheel set which will make you safer, faster and more relaxed on the bike."

Sidekick's proprietary freehub mechanism decouples the drivetrain from the rear wheel when coasting. An adjustable deadband (12°/15°/18°) filters kickback and chain vibration before it reaches the pedals. The result: improved suspension performance, reduced fatigue, better traction. Near-silent operation. Exceptionally low drag.

MTB Wheels

Grappler Sidekick Flux for Enduro and Downhill. Low-profile carbon or alloy rims engineered for vertical 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 for trail and all-mountain. Asymmetric rim design equalizes spoke tension between drive and non-drive sides. Lightweight 28-spoke builds for a lively, dynamic feel.

E-MTB Wheels

Grappler Sidekick Flux Enduro are E-MTB compatible and our recommendation for most E-MTB riding. Sylvan Sidekick Race wheels are a great option for lightweight E-MTBs used for lighter trail riding.

Grappler Race e*spec wheels are purpose-built for full-power E-MTB. Oversized hub shell, large 6808 bearings, steel axle, and 32-spoke builds handle higher torque and heavier bike weight. Up to 228% stronger than earlier e*spec Plus models. 6° engagement balances quick response with pedal kickback reduction.

Gravel Wheels

Piedmont Race brings MTB durability to drop-bar adventures. 26mm inner width (carbon) or 24mm (alloy) for wider tire compatibility. Race Straightpull hubs with 4-pawl, 3° engagement for efficiency. Tool-free hub service when you're miles from anywhere.

XCX Race for lightweight gravel performance. 24mm inner width. Carbon rims engineered to maintain a tubeless seal even if cracked.

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