S&M Goring Guard Sprocket

The four integrated shields are designed to protect your chain and teeth from direct impact during grinds or heavy landings. By shielding the most vulnerable parts of the sprocket, it helps prevent bent teeth and chain damage, extending the life of your drivetrain.

The S&M Goring Guard is designed specifically for BMX use. While it fits most standard BMX crank setups, you should ensure your current chain size and crank spindle diameter are compatible before purchasing.

Your choice depends on your preferred gear ratio. A 25T sprocket is standard for most modern BMX setups, offering a balanced feel. Moving up to 28T or 30T will increase your top speed but require more effort to accelerate, which is often preferred for trails or faster riding styles.

No, the guard is integrated into the sprocket's structure, so it does not obstruct the chain path. You can install your chain just as you would with a standard sprocket.

The finishes are primarily for style, allowing you to customize the look of your bike. However, the construction itself is built for aggressive riding, so all finish options are equally durable and capable of handling the rigors of street and park riding.
