MRP G3 Steel Chain Guide


SO GOOD: MRP have combined the bashguard and lower guide on the G3 so you can swing the whole section out of the way for easier fitting.

They also include a choice of jockey wheel or slider block for the lower guide – the latter sheds mud better. Once the G3 was on, it had very low drag, was almost silent and worked faultlessly. It’s a distinctive looking bit of kit.

NO GOOD: The steel backplate makes the G3 pretty heavy (239g) and what should have been an easy fit was marred by problems getting a couple of the nuts and bolts to marry up. A few worn threads gave us some fears for their long-term survival.

PRICE: 125$
