"The most appealing part of this whole thing is the more affordable price tag, sure, but making the system more tunable out of the box with two spring options is a huge win. As the Chain Damper has seen significant praise and demand, Rimpact can now make it more accessible to those curious about exploring the trend of countering drivetrain feedback."
"The Chain Damper now retails for $256.03 (£189.99), down from $375.99 (£279.99), and select alloy models are available for as low as $202 USD (£149.99). Despite the price drop and added spring in the box, no major changes have been made to the Chain Damper. Rimpact is giving the middle finger to shrinkflation."
"To put it simply: Chains have mass, and mass wants to move. On bikes without a chain damper or similar system, this uncontrolled mass is free to bounce around, causing drivetrain feedback and noise. The springs in the Chain Damper harness the chain's energy, smoothing out the ride and improving suspension and drivetrain efficiency."
Rimpact’s Chain Damper reduces pedal kickback and drivetrain noise by using springs to harness chain energy, smoothing chain movement and improving suspension and drivetrain efficiency. The device has been adopted by everyday mountain bikers and World Cup racers for its effectiveness in cutting drivetrain feedback and noise. The product now ships with two spring options to enhance out-of-the-box tuning and accessibility. Pricing dropped to $256.03 (£189.99) from $375.99 (£279.99), with select alloy models available for as low as $202 USD (£149.99). Free shipping is offered on qualifying orders.
