e*thirteen Sylvan Sidekick Race Carbon Rear Wheel 27.5" 148x12mm Boost XD - Black

Rear all-mountain wheel built around the Sidekick anti-kickback hub, which uses the same hub technology as e*thirteen's World Cup DH-winning Grappler Sidekick wheels. An adjustable deadband removes pedal kickback and filters drivetrain shock and vibration before it reaches the rider.

The Sylvan Race Carbon rim is a lightweight, low-profile asymmetric all-mountain design. Its asymmetric spoke bed allows lightweight spokes, and combined with a double-butted 28-spoke build it gives a lively, compliant ride feel.

Hand-built with Sapim D-light spokes and locking alloy nipples. The wheel is fully serviceable and rebuildable.
