Grappler Sidekick Pro Flux Carbon GR DH Front MTB Wheel

Grappler Sidekick Pro Flux GR Downhill Wheels set new benchmarks for durability, comfort, and enhanced control. Tested over multiple World Cup seasons by the world's fastest athletes, these wheels consistently deliver top results.

Sidekick Pro GR hubs are built tough enough for the World's roughest tracks, yet shave serious grams with Sidekick 2.0 features such as a lightweight, oversized 17mm alloy axle, new bearings and seals for less drag, and a 12°/15°/18° adjustable deadband. The deadband in Sidekcik hubs decouples the drivetrain from the suspension, eliminating pedal kickback, enhancing suspension performance, and filtering drivetrain shock and vibration before it reaches the rider. Pawls retracted during coasting means dramatically less friction and the fastest rolling wheels we've ever tested.

Our strongest low-profile Flux 66 Pro Carbon rims strike an unparalleled balance in compliance, strength, weight, and performance.

Together, these technological marvels offer increased comfort, enhanced speed and control, and a lively ride feel that puts traditional wheels to shame. 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. They're also backed by a lifetime free rim replacement warranty, for peace of mind and long-term value.
