""We engineer for true ride performance, not just instant engagement that can hinder suspension and ride quality. Sidekick 2.0 is built for riders seeking improved capability, near-silent hubs, and real speed." - Project Engineer, Greg Thrash."
"The Sidekick 2.0's 9° fast engagement option is the fastest option, providing quicker engagement similar to conventional hubs, while still reducing kickback during the initial part of suspension travel."
"Compared to the original Sidekick, the 2.0 version weighs up to 38% less, with the Pro Straight Pull rear hub weighing 275g. The updated design also reduces coasting friction by 30% using improved bearing press-fits and low-friction seals."
The e*thirteen Sidekick 2.0 Hub features a patented ratchet system that eliminates pedal kickback, enhancing ride performance. Riders can adjust engagement settings on the trail without tools. The hub is 38% lighter than its predecessor and reduces coasting friction by 30%. A magnetic pawl retraction system replaces traditional springs, improving durability. The Sidekick 2.0 starts at $249.95, making it more affordable than the original version, while offering silent operation and compatibility with traditional setups.
