Aluminium Biketrial Bash Guard / Sprocket Protector

Aluminium Bash Guard for Trials and Biketrial

The aluminium trials bash guard and sprocket protector is designed to protect one of the most exposed areas of a trials bike: the sprocket and lower drivetrain.

During trials riding, contact with rocks, logs, steps and other obstacles is common. A dedicated bash guard helps reduce the risk of direct impacts to the drivetrain components.

Sprocket and Drivetrain Protection

Its main purpose is to provide additional protection around the sprocket, helping prevent direct impacts during training, competition and technical riding.

It also provides a strong protective surface in an area of the bike that is particularly exposed when riding over obstacles.

• Designed for trials and biketrial bikes.
• Aluminium construction.
• Helps protect the sprocket against impacts.
• Protects the lower drivetrain area.
• Strong and lightweight design.
• Suitable for training and competition.
• Trials-specific replacement component.

Lightweight Aluminium Construction

The aluminium construction provides a good combination of mechanical strength and low weight, two particularly important characteristics for trials bike components.

The bash guard is designed to withstand the typical contact and impacts encountered during biketrial riding without adding unnecessary weight to the bike.

Essential Protection for a Trials Bike

Unlike many other cycling disciplines, the underside of a trials bike is regularly exposed to contact with obstacles. Rocks, concrete sections, logs and other surfaces can strike the drivetrain during technical manoeuvres.

For this reason, a bash guard or sprocket protector is a useful component for protecting the drivetrain and keeping your trials bike ready for demanding technical sections.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Biketrial Bash Guard

What is a bash guard used for on a trials bike?

A bash guard helps protect the sprocket and lower drivetrain area against impacts and contact with rocks, logs, steps and other obstacles during trials riding.

Is this trials bash guard made from aluminium?

Yes. It is manufactured from aluminium to provide a good combination of strength and low weight.

Is a sprocket protector recommended for biketrial?

Yes. The drivetrain is particularly exposed to impacts during trials riding, so a sprocket protector can help reduce the risk of direct damage to the sprocket and surrounding components.

Can it be used for training and competition?

Yes. It is suitable for trials bikes used for both regular training and competition.

Is this bash guard compatible with every trials bike?

Compatibility depends on the frame, drivetrain and mounting system of each bike. We recommend checking compatibility before ordering.

How can I check if it fits my trials bike?

If you are unsure, contact Start Bikes with the make and model of your bike and we can help you check compatibility before purchasing.
