Lightweight

Looks great & works like a charm!

Upgraded my girls ride to a 2x9 setup.
She ditched the big ring and I put one of these in its place.

Already paid for itself after a ride last weekend when she brushed it over some rocks! Her teeth remained unscathed and the turbocharger still looks new!!



Pros: Quality made with the best of plastic poly technology. Lighter weight than many other solutions out there.

Cons: Price. Possibly the color. Granted the white matches her bike better than the black one, but I think its gonna get dirtier quicker!

Looks better on the bike

I didn't initially want a while bash guard, but no one had the black version at the time. It's grown on me since then, though. It looks a lot better on the bike than it did in the pics.

As far as function is concerned, the brass sleeves for the bolts are a big improvement over previous versions that would crack if you overtightened the bolts and slip if you didn't tighten them enough. It's also less brittle. After a year of riding it still doesn't have any chipped areas.

BEST bashguard on the Market.

Every single mountain bike i own from XC to Downhill has this guard. Looks really sharp and it crazy light! Strong and no issues with cracking.
I have them in black and white. From my sub 25lb xc bikes to my 40lb+ downhill bikes.

Pros: looks,
performance,
light weight,
strong,
Good price,
Just a bad a$$ guard!

Cons: NONE!
More color options would be sweet!!!
