Sylvan Sidekick Pro Flux Aluminum All Mountain Front MTB Wheel

Sylvan Sidekick Pro Aluminum Wheels tick all the boxes for Aggressive Trail and All Mountain riders who want pro-level performance and durability, that won't break the bank.

They feature second-generation Sidekick Pro Straight Pull Hubs that are 160g lighter, with a wider 9°/13°/18° adjustable deadband that eliminates pedal kickback, enhancing suspension performance and filtering drivetrain shock and vibration before it reaches the rider. The faster engagement 9° narrowest deadband setting feels more like traditional hubs when climbing is a priority, and tool-free deadband adjustment allows you to increase the degrees of deadband depending on terrain, maximizing anti-kickback effects when the going gets rough.

The results on short to medium travel bikes are a smoother, less fatiguing ride, and a feeling of more usable suspension, without affecting the intended frame kinematics.

Front and rear specific, low-profile Flux Pro Aluminum rims set new standards in compliance, strength, weight, and performance. Lighter Flux 43 rims complement front wheels for maximum compliance and traction. Robust Flux 54 rims are used in rear wheels for added durability without sacrificing ride feel.

Together, Sidekick and Flux offer increased comfort, enhanced speed and control, and a lively ride feel that won't disappoint. Efficient, predictable suspension performance, added traction and tracking, reduced rider fatigue, and nearly silent hub operation create a more confident and immersive ride experience for both pros and enthusiasts.
