Performance - Sidekick hubs decouple the drivetrain from the suspension eliminating kickback at its source. Crank mounted anti-kickback solutions for example simply mask the kickback effects for the rider while Sidekick eliminates it from the source. 

Reliability - The internals of the Sidekick are shielded from the elements (no creaking!) as they are located inside the rear hub. 

Weight - There is a very low weight penalty between Sidekick and traditional hubs, adding a fraction of the weight of other products. 

Cost - Sidekick doubles as a high-quality rear hub and anti-kickback system. Other products are additional components that add significant cost. 

Free Speed - The added benefit of extremely low drag in Sidekick hubs means you’ll accelerate faster and carry speed better. 

Crisp Engagement - unlike the “elastic” feeling engagement common in some other hubs and anti-kickback devices, Sidekick’s engagement feeling is reliably crisp and familiar.
