Rimpact Chain Damper - E-Bike
The Chain Damper is engineered to mute chain slap and reduce drivetrain feedback, delivering more grip and confidence even when descending on the roughest terrain. Enduro or DH rider? The Chain Damper is your new secret weapon.
The Chain Damper effectively captures chain energy, creating a smooth, silent ride. It reduces drivetrain feedback by controlling the energy in the chain as it flails. Chain Damper offers a truly chainless experience.
Isolates feedback.
Removes unwanted drivetrain feedback when descending, resulting in a quiet and confidence inspiring ride with a chainless feel.
Improved suspension sensitivity and feel.
With less drivetrain feedback, you'll become more aware of your bikes suspension movements, with an increase in grip and confidence.
Less rider fatigue.
By isolating the rider from drivetrain feedback, you'll feel less tired at the bottom of a descent, allowing you to ride to your limit for longer.
How does it work?
Chains have significant mass. This uncontrolled mass is free to flail, causing unwanted feedback and noise. We believe this plays a bigger part in unwanted ride characteristics than other sources of negative drivetrain feedback. The springs in the Chain Damper capture the chain's energy, smoothing out the ride.
The Chain Damper isolates the rider from drivetrain feedback which is caused by the chain flailing as we descend. Bringing the chain under control allows the rider to be more closely connected to subtle suspension action.

Service Intervals:
We've made every effort to design this product to last and be low maintenance. However, all high-performance parts need some kind of preventative maintenance to perform optimally. We recommend cleaning and regreasing the damper as soon as any noise or negative feeling occurs in the device. We also offer service kits and replacement chainrings that can be replaced by following this guide.
Should a squeak appear in the actuation, a small drip of chain lube around the seals of the damper should fix this.
