The K-Edge Elevate Race 1x Large Ring Chain Guide is a braze-on mounted solution for riders running big 1x chainrings who want reliable chain control without the common downside of chain binding during backpedaling. Its full-coverage aluminum cage is designed to guide a derailed chain back onto the ring with forward pedaling, keeping the drivetrain running cleanly when terrain and vibrations try to knock it off line.
Automatic chain re-seating design - Helps return a dropped chain to the chainring with forward pedaling, reducing interruptions and the risk of chain-related damage on 1x setups
Backpedal-friendly clearance - Allows a derailed chain to ride above the chainring teeth, minimizing the chance of binding and drivetrain lock-up when backpedaling
52–68T chainring compatibility - Built for large 1x chainrings; fit depends on the frame’s braze-on position relative to the bottom bracket axis
Full aluminum cage coverage - Protects against both inside and outside chain drops for more consistent retention under load
Opposing Locking System™ 2.0 - Three accessible adjustment screws provide fine positioning and a secure lock-in to keep the guide stable once set
Updated Race design - Reduced weight (26% claimed), more aerodynamic shaping, and easier installation, with compatibility targeted for 11/12/13-speed drivetrains and larger cassettes
Made in USA + Lifetime Warranty - Long-term support and service confidence for a high-use race and endurance component
