The e*thirteen "Sidekick" MTB Rear Hub is, according to e*thirteen, the only hub that simultaneously eliminates pedal kickback, delivers near-zero freewheeling drag and runs near-silently when coasting. The pusher-activated magnetic pawl mechanism fully decouples the drivetrain from the rear suspension during coasting: the rear end moves freely through its travel without fighting chain tension – better small-bump compliance, more traction. The tool-free adjustable deadband gives three settings: 9° for fast, direct engagement when climbing, 13° or 18° for maximum anti-kickback on descents. 17 mm 7075 alloy axle, 300 g in 148 mm Boost, Micro Spline driver, 32 holes, 6-bolt disc mount, E-MTB compatible, fully rebuildable, 10-year warranty with lifetime bearing coverage.
