Let's face it, if you drive an ATV with a chain you have to do periodical maintenance . The Maxima Synthetic Chain guard goes on easy and adds life to your chain.
We test our ATV's in extreme conditions , mud, snow, water, etc. and this seems to take a toll on our equipment.
I like the way the synthetic chain guard apply's, and you know it is on your chain. We are currently running Maxima lubes on both our Kymco & Yamaha test quads with great results.
The synthetic chain guard from Maxima appears to wear very well in our extreme driving conditions, and we are very pleased with the results so far.

    3 step process, allows you to control the application process.
    Very durable and recommended for extreme riding conditions.
