Isolates Feedback
Eliminiert unerwünschte Rückmeldungen des Antriebs beim Bergabfahren und sorgt so für eine ruhige, vertrauenserweckende Fahrt mit kettenlosem Fahrgefühl.
Verbesserte Sensitivität und Haptik der Aufhängung
Durch weniger Rückmeldung des Antriebs werden Sie sich stärker der Bewegungen der Fahrradfederung bewusst, was zu mehr Grip und Sicherheit führt.
Weniger Ermüdung des Fahrers
Indem Sie den Fahrer von Rückmeldungen des Antriebsstrangs isolieren, fühlen Sie sich am Ende einer Abfahrt weniger erschöpft, was es Ihnen ermöglicht, länger an Ihre Grenzen zu fahren.
Wie funktioniert das?
Ketten haben eine beträchtliche Masse. Diese unkontrollierte Masse kann frei hin- und herschlagen und verursacht unerwünschtes Feedback und Geräusche. Wir glauben, dass dies eine größere Rolle für unerwünschte Fahrqualitäten spielt als andere Quellen negativen Antriebsfeedbacks.
Die Federn im Chain Damper nehmen die Energie der Kette auf und sorgen für ein sanfteres Fahrverhalten.
Der Chain Damper isoliert den Fahrer von Antriebsfeedback, das durch das Hin- und Herschlagen der Kette beim Abfahren verursacht wird. Indem die Kette unter Kontrolle gebracht wird, kann der Fahrer subtile Federungsbewegungen besser wahrnehmen.
EFBE geprüft
Der Chain Damper wurde entwickelt, um im Ermüdungsversuch nach ISO 4210 hervorragende Ergebnisse zu erzielen, und ist dafür ausgelegt, sämtliche Kräfte standzuhalten, die Sie über Ihre Pedale aufbringen – egal, ob Sie eine Power-Hour-Runde absolvieren oder an einem großen Wettkampfwochenende Vollgas bis zur Ziellinie geben.

Strapazierfähige Ringe
Kettenkettenräder von Chain Damper haben aufgrund der chemischen Reaktion, die beim Hartanodisieren von T6-7075-Aluminium stattfindet, ein auffälliges, natürliches Finish. Dieses Typ-III-Verfahren erzeugt im Vergleich zur standardmäßigen „Typ-II“-Eloxalbeschichtung eine deutlich dickere und widerstandsfähigere Beschichtung, schränkt die Farbauswahl jedoch auf ein „natürliches“ oder schwarzes Finish ein.

Einfache Wartung
Der Chain Damper wurde so konzipiert, dass er einen britischen Winter übersteht, sodass Sie ihn nicht oft warten müssen. Er ist dreifach abgedichtet und der Körper verfügt über ein „Labyrinth“-Design, um das Eindringen von Wasser und Schmutz zu minimieren.
Wenn es ans Warten Ihres Chain Dampers geht, benötigen Sie nur einen 3-mm-Innensechskantschlüssel und etwas Fett. Glauben Sie uns nicht? Sehen Sie sich die Wartungsanleitung hier an.

Knarrfrei
Durch die direkte Integration des Kettenblatts in den Chain Damper haben wir ein unglaublich steifes und knarzfreies Design erreicht. Die Kurbelaufnahme ist nahtlos in die Vorderplatte des Dampers integriert, was es uns ermöglicht, das bestmögliche Produkt zu entwickeln, ohne durch das traditionelle BCD-Kettenblattdesign eingeschränkt zu sein. Dieses Design gewährleistet maximale Haltbarkeit und Leistung, indem es unnötige Geräusche oder Verformungen vermeidet.
Easy to fit, looks great and makes my bike eerily quiet and settled. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for the next level in performance on your rig.
I bought the Chain Damper and my bike which had a noticeable pedal feedback changed completely! As I use flat pedals I constantly had to repositionate my feet, now the ridding feels calmer with a lot of composure and less noisier. There weirdest thing is the pedaling gap that I was not used to in my MTB, only in my BMX equipe with a coaster, the feeling is the same. For high speed downhills and really rough terrain is pretty perfect!
The chain damper is a pro upgrade for my Evil Insurgent's Delta suspension. Like silk...
Great product for DH. Initally I had a strange feeling putting pressure on the pedals with the hard springs in the damper but then after only a few rides the damper came to life and it feelt butter smooth. Had some problems with fitting but the awesome customer support helped out asap. The chain damper delivers as intended. üá∏üá™
Excellent I made a mistake by ordering the wrong one and they were very prompt and change in this for me and very helpful. Thank you team.
Game changer! A great update for your bike.Rear shock works better.
Feeling is really good! Neutralize kickback, you must have this chain damper on your bike.
My bike: commencal Furious 2025
After fitting the chain damper to my HB916 v1 I instantly notice how much quieter my bike was. The suspension moves so much more freely now and it is a big difference from beforehand. Even being a high pivot! Would highly recommend one. Super smooth
Made this purchase as a trial to see if it helped with racing and genuinely surprised how much it seemed to smooth out rough parts of the tracks!
These people are experts MTB in general, and the products they developed are only top tier and topping that with a very very good customer support.
Product does what it is advertised to do, however due to the nature of my bike’s linkage and the use of a 690 POE hub…the pedal feedback I am feeling has not been completely eliminated by the chain damper. I have NO complaints to the product itself, and I can say Matt’s personal touch during the transaction is especially appreciated.

great, thanks!
Bought the rimpact chain ring as I was experiencing quite a bit of kick back when jumping my bike. Which is because of the high engagement hubs I’m using. I’ve only been out on the bike twice since fitting it and the difference is night and day. Very impressed once funds allow I’ll be back for the steering damper
These are fantastic products!
I ordered a Chain Damper a few weeks ago.
Shipping from UK to Germany was way faster than from Germany to Germany.
The feeling from no Chain Damper to Chain Damper is a difference like day and night. üôÇ
Great product, nice contact, lovely people.
Works great! Keeps the drivetrain silent and the bike feeling calm.
Riding felt better instantly
The only other chain definitely advice I have used is an O-Chain so I was basing my first ride on that. The rimpact felt so smooth with really nice feel on the bike and my chain doesn't make any noise at all. With the heavy spring in the Rimpact you do get a bit of a springer feeling when pedaling around but since it's on my DH bike that doesn't matter to me at all. Overall this the best bang for your buck anit pedal kickback device on the market hands down!
Very nice customer service. Tristan was great
The bike is quiet, like it doesn't have a chain. The Rimpact also helped me with my broken ankle. I don't have as many bumps in my legs.
Absolutely flawless
Chain damper was the one of the best improvements I’ve ever made to my bike!
I haven’t used or installed it yet. But I’ve been a big fan and supporter of Rimpact since the inserts.
Very easy to get a view of all the steps.
It does exactly what they advertised. The only think that I have still some getting used to is pedaling. I would like to have a control knob to turn it on ou off like the O Chain.
Amazing service and good updates on delivery
Helps a lot even on short travel trail bike. Used with trail springs.
Seemed pretty straight forward ordering system.
No ifs, no buts, no coconuts.
You don’t know what you got till it’s gone.
On opening the smart, recyclable packaging of the Rimpact chain damper, one is presented with a beautifully crafted component –British engineering at its best (think Hope, Bergtec,…). The chain damper has a good, robust feel to it, which might distress weight-saving freaks, but given its location at the bottom bracket, I don’t foresee any problems at all of this slight additional weight, at least when descending.
On the opening weekend at bike park Leogang, I started with 2 descents of Flying Gangster with the original chainring. The bike (Commençal FRS) felt smooth enough, and I couldn’t really imagine much improvement.
After exchanging the chain ring for the Rimpact chain damper (easy, the FRS required no additional spacers), I pedalled to the lift station and then from the top of the lift to the trailhead (partly steep up). Although it’s possible to make the pedalling feel “strange”, if you pedal (also in flats) with a smooth, round action, you pretty much completely eliminate the play. I’m sure this will only become more natural.
But now to the whole point of the chain damper: descending. Within 30 metres of dropping in, it became clear to me that I had previously had no idea of what smooth feels like. It was like riding chainless but nevertheless with a whole cassette of gears at your disposal. The chain damper eliminated all the “noise” at the rear end - not only the noise in terms of unwanted sound, but more the chatter, kickback and general interference. The rear end felt composed like never before, and this feeling increased as I wrote on. And Flying Gangster is not even rough - it’s fast, but has no rocks or roots to speak of.
I’m not a racer (nor do I have any intention of becoming one), so I don’t know if this device will make you faster. However, for those riders who value descending above all else (like bike park riders such as myself), this is an incredible piece of kit. Descending 6-7,000+ vertical metres a day without all that chatter at the rear end, can only make you feel fresher and more focused on the job at hand in the latter part of the day.
You don’t know what you got till it’s gone. And boy am I glad all that chatter is gone.
Great customer service, cool products
