The Scott Gambler 2020 Bash Guard is a proprietary and integrated crash protection. Chains usually work with different bikes and therefore involve a certain risk.
So far, the design of the chain guide / bashguard was not ideal compared to the design of the front mechanics.
Heavy, molded aluminum fasteners were needed in the frame that bend when impacted, and the threads that could be damaged must remain in the frame.
This would affect the width of the main pivot and the shape of the chainstay. In addition, the chain guide and the bashguard were connected to a rear wall to further reduce the weight.
In the new design, Scott has dispensed with cast-in aluminum fasteners and threads in the frame. Scott was able to develop a broader main pivot that made the connection stiffer and extended the life of the camp.
In this way, the shape of the chainstay could be optimized and more rigidity and strength achieved. So it is easy to configure and customize, and it is easier.
