A flip-flop rear wheel isn’t about extra features, it’s a simple, well-thought-out solution: the hub is threaded on both sides, allowing different freewheel setups, while in actual use you ride it on one side, typically right-hand drive. That’s exactly what the Salt Everest rear wheel is built around. It doesn’t try to be more than it is, but it gives you a solid, functional foundation for a BMX setup. Backed by Wethepeople, Salt focuses on real-world performance, not marketing claims.
The wheel is built around a Saltplus Summit double wall rim, offering a stable base with its 36 mm width. The 6 mm pin joint connection isn’t just a number, it actually helps the rim hold its shape under load, especially in street riding where side impacts are constant.
At the center sits the Salt Everest hub with fully sealed bearings. This means low maintenance, smooth rolling, and long-term reliability.
Important: this is not a cassette system, but a threaded freewheel setup. The wheel does not include a freewheel, it needs to be chosen separately. The flip-flop design simply means both sides of the hub are threaded, allowing multiple freewheel options, but you ride it on one side in practice.
This is a well-built, durable rear wheel you can install, set up with your preferred freewheel, and rely on to do its job.
