Elevate Race 1x Chain Guide - 40-52t

K-Edge Elevate Race 1x Chain Guide is a race-focused chain retention system built to protect a 1x drivetrain from chain drops while keeping backpedaling smooth and predictable. The full-coverage aluminum cage is designed to guide a derailed chain back onto the chainring during forward pedaling, while also allowing a dropped chain to ride above the teeth to reduce the chance of binding when backpedaling. Optimized for modern 11/12/13-speed setups and larger cassettes, it’s a clean, durable upgrade for road and gravel bikes using a braze-on mounting interface.

• Automatic chain reseating design - Helps return a derailed chain to the chainring with forward pedaling, reducing disruption and protecting the drivetrain
• Backpedal-friendly guide path - Designed to avoid chain binding forces during a derailed backpedal
• 40–52T chainring range - Covers common 1x road/gravel ring sizes (fit depends on braze-on position relative to the bottom bracket axis)
• Opposing Locking System 2.0 - Three accessible adjustment screws allow precise positioning and a secure, locked-in setup
• Full aluminum cage - Adds inside/outside chain drop protection with a rigid, long-wearing structure
• Updated lower-profile design - Reduced weight (26% vs. prior design), improved aerodynamics, and simpler installation
• Made in USA + Lifetime Warranty - Long-term support for a high-miles drivetrain component
