Specialized Epic Chain Guide
Best lightweight security for cross country mountain bikers.
This is the insurance policy your drivetrain needs when the trail gets rowdy. By locking your chain in place, it eliminates the anxiety of dropped gears mid-ride. You sacrifice a tiny bit of weight for the absolute certainty that your power transfer remains uninterrupted, no matter how technical the descent.
