A minimal, lightweight chain guide for hardtails and trail bikes, built for downcountry and trail riding where you want chain security without extra weight.

Highlights

  • Lightweight 2-bolt ISCG-05 backplate
  • Ultra-compact upper slider, infinite lateral adjustment on a single bolt
  • Armature mounts inside or outside the backplate to suit different frame setups
  • 28–36T chainring capacity

Light enough for trail, secure enough for downcountry

The Trail version of e*thirteen's Vario chainguide trims the backplate to a 2-bolt mount and skips the bashguard, keeping weight down for hardtails and lightweight full-suspension bikes up to 140mm travel.

Compatibility & fit

Mounts to ISCG-05 tabs with a 2-bolt backplate. Suits chainrings from 28T to 36T on Boost or Super Boost chainlines, on hardtails and trail bikes up to 140mm travel. The Tune workshop can fit and set up the guide to your chainline.

e*thirteen covers this chainguide for 10 years against manufacturing and material defects, with a discounted crash-replacement option available. For warranty support, return the product to Tune Cycles and we'll manage the claim with e*thirteen's Australian distributor.
