E Thirteen are fast establishing themselves recognition amongst the mountain bike community as providers of some of the finest quality chain guides, chain tensioners and drivetrain components on the market. Just take a look at any World Cup round or World Championship race and see how many riders choose E 13 Components to keep them ahead of the pack. Each E 13 chainguide is the result of hours of meticulous design and engineering as well as extensive field testing on the race circuit in order to provide Downhillers, Trail Riders and XC racers with the same high quality, smooth-running components that the Pros use.

The Turbocharger bash guard has evolved over the years to become the lightest and strongest on the market. The same bash guard that comes with the SRS+ and SS+ chain guides, the Turbocharger bash guard can be run on it's own or in conjunction with a chain guide, for riders looking to protect the chain rings and the underside of their frame from impacts on the trail. With its polycarbonate material, the Turbocharger will slide off obstacles as opposed to digging in and throwing you over the bars like a chainring would, and the Impact-flexure design makes it incredibly strong too.

From E*13:

"In 2000, when we introduced the world's first impact absorbing full thermoplastic Supercharger bashguard, we thought it couldn't be beat. Nine years later, we've outdone ourselves with the all new Turbocharger. Using our revolutionary and patent pending impact flexure technology, the Turbocharger is the strongest and lightest bashguard ever made. It's obscenely strong, ridiculously lightweight, and there's no metal to bend. Primary Uses: When you want the lightest and strongest bashguard ever made".

• Our strongest bashguard ever, with the lightest weight (87g for a 36T!) of any comparable size bashguard in the world.
