MRP 2x Chain Device Including Integral Bashguard: The new 2x guide for 2-chainring MTB cranks. In development for almost two years, the 2x utilizes MRPs patented integrated skid chainring protection & introduces a new patent-pending dual pulley tensioning system. The 2x is designed to work seamlessly with the new wave of 2x 10 drivetrains being specified on many new mountain bikes. These new drivetrains created new challenges to chain management with their unique gear ratios, chain lines, & impact protection requirements. The 2x solves all of these challenges. To create the 2x guide, MRP began the process of applying our range of technologies & systems to find the optimal solution for 2x 10 drivetrains, & through collaboration with SRAM & extensive testing it was decided that the ultimate light weight solution was a chain guide sharing elements of the G2sl, LRP, & XCG products. Notable is the absence of an outer capture ring on the cranksets, relying on the front derailleur & lower pulley assembly for complete chain retention. MRPs design goals are driven by the passion to design & produce products that allow riders to just ride
- not worrying about chain damage or dropping a chain. The integrated skid protects the chainrings from impacts without the added weight of a full bash ring. The dual pulley tensioning system ensures that the chain is properly tensioned & in the right position, keeping it on the chainring in the roughest conditions. The dual pulleys also reduce drag & noise compared to other designs, ensuring a better riding experience. Finally, the raised top fin profile prevents the chain from dropping to the BB shell.
