The Sidekick rear hub features a unique anti-kickback drive mechanism with adjustable deadband, providing smooth suspension performance, reduced fatigue, and near-silent operation for an unparalleled riding experience. Its groundbreaking freehub mechanism disengages the drivetrain from the rear wheel when coasting, and an adjustable deadband filters kickback and chain vibration before it reaches the pedals, virtually eliminating pedal feedback effects on suspension. With the drive mechanism disengaged from the ratchet ring, drag is significantly reduced. The result is an impeccably smooth ride over the roughest terrain, improved traction, heightened speed and control, and reduced fatigue. Its nearly silent operation immerses you in the outdoor experience, letting you hear nothing but the wind in your ears and your tires on the trail.
Designed to enhance the suspension performance of any full-suspension mountain bike
Adjustable pawl-pusher allows tool-free tuning of deadband between 12°, 15°, and 18° to suit rider preference, bike type, and terrain
Chain tension filtered by the deadband ensures suspension is unhindered by resistance from pedal kick-back, resulting in improved, more consistent performance, and simpler setup
Durable 60T ratchet ring with innovative pusher driven pawl system provides silent operation and reduced drag by remaining disengaged unless pedaling
Reduced kickback, chainslap, and vibration mean a quieter, more comfortable ride
Ultimate reliability: Proven on the World Cup and fully serviceable and rebuildable, so you can push your limits with confidence

Everything was great. Was waiting for the SL9 to release since the first leak. Going from a SL7 was night and day.
Also Sierra Bicycle Supply, was amazing. Will be shopping here plenty more. The service they displayed was top tier, from the order placing online all the way to the delivery.

Exceptional Wheels
The CLX III are exceptional I was a little apprehensive about buying them having ridden the Enve 4.5 but you feel less crosswinds and their lighter and spin fast. The spokes seemed to offer a lot of dampening vibration. Win win in my book.

After many years I wore out my derailleur gears. Since I ride on my wind trainer daily, I needed to get up and riding again. Riding us part of my cancer therapy. Replacing the gears was a quick and easy way to fix the problem. Cost was fine and the delivery was fast. Thank you.
Got this for my kids bike. He does XC racing. Has been riding in dry lose dirt, wet conditions. Lots of climbing and some downhill. He loves them. Shipped fast and in sexure packaging. I would definitely buy again.
Heard a lot of good things about this tires put them on my commuter. The roll much faster than the schwable energizers on it. Puncture protection only time will tell.
