The Elevate Race Chain Guide keeps your 1x chain where it belongs. Its elevated design lets a derailed chain ride up over the chainring teeth instead of binding when you backpedal, then reseat as you pedal forward.
Highlights
- Full-coverage chain retention for 1x drivetrains
- Elevated design: bind-free backpedal and automatic chain reseating
- Opposing Locking System (O.L.S.) 2.0 for set-and-forget adjustment
- Suits 40–52T chainrings (depending on braze-on position)
- 11, 12 and 13-speed compatible
- CNC-machined aluminium, no breakable plastic parts, 39.6 g
Why elevated
On a conventional guide a dropped chain can jam between guide and chainring when you backpedal. The Elevate lets the chain lift clear of the teeth, avoiding that bind, then drops it back onto the ring when you pedal forward.
Opposing Locking System 2.0
Three accessible screws set the inside and outside limits and the yaw angle to suit your frame, braze-on position and chainline. Set it once and it stays put. K-EDGE says the updated design is 26% lighter than the previous guide, more aero and quicker to install.
Compatibility & fit
For 1x drivetrains with a front derailleur braze-on mount (or a braze-on adaptor). Chainring range 40–52T, depending on the distance from the braze-on to the bottom bracket axis. Standard chainline 45–49 mm. 11, 12 and 13-speed compatible.
For chainrings from 40 to 52 teeth, see the K-EDGE Elevate LR (Large Ring) guide for bigger rings.
Tune Cycles can fit this as a separate workshop service; fitting is not included in the price.
