Pedal kickback can significantly impact your ride by making the suspension feel unpredictable, especially on rough terrain, leading to decreased control and comfort. Many riders have become

so accustomed to pedal kickback occurring that they are not acutely aware of its impacts until it has been removed. While not every ride will produce pedal kickback, its effects are noticeable when it occurs, resulting in leg fatigue and compromised rider positioning. 

There are many times while riding when suspension compression doesn’t cause a kickback event. With enough wheel speed, the suspension will not compress quickly enough to apply tension to the hub, since the hub-shell will outrun the cassette/freehub. However, kickback does happen at low to medium speeds with quick suspension movements, causing a deadened feeling from suspension. 

The Sidekick Hub not only eliminates pedal kickback but also reduces chain vibration, allowing for smoother and more efficient suspension performance at all times. 

The proof is in the ride - equipping any bike with a Sidekick hub will result in smoother, more efficient, and more predictable suspension performance.
