Engineered to enhance the overall performance of mid-to-long travel full-suspension bikes, this premium 27.5-inch rear wheel brings together e*thirteen's revolutionary anti-kickback hub technology and a highly optimized, rear-specific aluminum rim layout. This nimble 27.5\" configuration is the definitive choice for riders running full 27.5\" trail setups or those building a highly agile, hard-charging mixed-wheel (Mullet) configuration that balances quick cornering response with heavy rock-strike durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining centerpiece of this wheel build is the second-generation \u003cstrong\u003eSidekick Pro Straight-Pull Rear Hub\u003c\/strong\u003e. Shedding up to 160g over previous versions, this high-performance hub features an adjustable 9°\/13°\/18° mechanical deadband system and a reliable 3-pawl mechanism. The rapid-engaging 9° setting delivers a crisp, traditional freehub feel when technical climbing is your primary focus, while a tool-free deadband adjustment allows you to open up the mechanism on rough descents. By decoupling drivetrain forces from your rear suspension, Sidekick technology completely eliminates pedal kickback and isolates background chain feedback, allowing your rear shock to track terrain perfectly without affecting intended frame kinematics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaced up to the hub is the rear-specific \u003cstrong\u003eFlux Pro 54 Aluminum Rim\u003c\/strong\u003e.
