ethirteen Vario DH Full Coverage Chainguide Info

The e*thirteen Vario DH Full Coverage Chainguide is built for the most demanding gravity riding, combining proven World Cup–level chain retention with unmatched adjustability. With nearly two decades of downhill race heritage behind it, this chainguide reflects e*thirteen’s continual refinement of what riders need when conditions are rough, speeds are high, and reliability is non-negotiable.

Designed specifically for downhill and freeride bikes with 140mm of travel and up, the Vario DH Full Coverage guide offers a modular approach that allows riders and mechanics to tailor the setup precisely to the frame, drivetrain, and riding style. At the core of the system is an infinitely adjustable upper slider, featuring lateral chainline tuning via a simple single-bolt mechanism. This ensures precise alignment and consistent chain control across a wide range of setups.

Mounting versatility is another key advantage. The guide’s armature can be positioned either inside or outside the backplate, making it easier to achieve optimal clearance and compatibility across different frame designs. Riders can also choose between a longer full-coverage slider or a more compact option, depending on how much protection and guidance they prefer.

For added durability, the Vario DH Full Coverage Chainguide includes interchangeable bashguards sized for 28–32T or 34–36T chainrings, providing essential protection against rock strikes and trail impacts. An optional super-quiet, low-friction stealth lower idler can be installed for maximum chain security, or omitted for riders who prefer a simpler setup.
