Specialized Demo FSR Chainstay Protector

This specific protector is designed to fit Demo FSR frames manufactured between 2019 and 2025. It will not fit older generations of the Demo frame, so please verify your bike's model year before purchasing.

The dual-density design uses a harder material for the base to ensure a secure, rigid fit against the frame, while a softer, rubberized outer layer absorbs the impact of the chain. This combination effectively quiets chain slap noise and prevents the chain from damaging your frame's finish.

No, this is a factory-original replacement designed to snap or bolt directly onto the existing mounting points of your Demo FSR chainstay. It is engineered for a precise, seamless fit without the need for aftermarket adhesives or modifications.

No, the protector is lightweight and specifically engineered to provide maximum protection without adding unnecessary bulk to your downhill setup. It is designed to integrate perfectly with the frame's geometry, keeping your bike's performance characteristics unchanged.

You should consider a replacement if the original guard is cracked, peeling, or if the rubber material has hardened to the point where it no longer effectively dampens chain slap. If you can see the frame material underneath the guard, it is time for a new one to prevent structural damage.
