The latest model with a solution for slippage around the main pivot

Manufactured in collaboration with SBONE

Medium-strength tension spring

Use: Bike park, freeride, gravity, slope style, pump track, dirt

Weight: 146g

Ridden and tested by Freeride Elites LOOSE RIDERS

REVERSE Components are designed in Germany with high demands on strength and low weight! One of the lightest components on the market in its category!

Recommended load for singlespeed tensioners:

REVERSE COLAB/ SB1 CT - medium load (Dirt, Street, Pumptrack)
SB1 BONER - high load (Bikepark, FreeRide, Gravity)
SB1 G3C - extreme load (Freeride, Rampage, LooseRiders)

SB ONE and REVERSE tensioners are attached in the classic way as derailleurs and are combined with singlespeed kits for 9/10/11 speed chains (one sprocket and washers), which replace the classic cassette.

This solution can save up to 500g of the total weight of the bike!

A very popular solution for gravity riders competing in Red Bull Rampage, LooseFest, SlopeStyle, etc.

Ideal for bike park riders, where classic gears are used minimally.

Also suitable for pump track, slopestyle, and dirt bikes with classic dropouts (not horizontal).

Recommendation:

The manufacturer recommends using a sprocket (e.g., AbsoluteBlack, REVERSE COMPONENTS, etc.) designed for 9-11 speed chains (width 11/128").  *Seller's note: a sprocket from a removable cassette may also work (beware of chain drop!).

Sprockets for 6-8 speed chains (width 3/32") and single speed chains (width 1/8") are not recommended.
