Extremely low drag is the hallmark of the Sidekick hub, whisper-quiet, smooth operation is how it rolls! 

The primary pawls are always disengaged from the ratchet ring while coasting, so drag is significantly reduced compared to standard hub systems. The only spring-loaded pawl in the system is the pusher pawl, which uses a light-action spring to initiate the hub motion. 

The improvement in suspension performance makes a big difference in rolling speed. You’ll notice yourself carrying more speed in and out of features on the trail, as your suspension predictably operates at all times.
