The coaster isnt out yet, so nobody knows for sure.
I think there is a good chance you will be able to get a similar engagement to that of a Cassette though.
The main thing is that you aren't supposed to use chain tension/hub engagement to revert with a coaster. No idea if that will be an issue with the G-Coaster or not.

they look pretty good, the guard is cool.
i know the guard on the mary kate front hub sucks

why does the guard suk?

it sucks cause while it does guard the spokes at the contact point with the hub, its too small and youll still grind on the spokes (like the middle part). It's pretty much useless.
