For the ones of us north of the equator we've finally seen some signs of spring rearing its beautiful head so now's the time to get the land vessel in tip top shape. Eclat have always got some cutting edge new gear on the go and this year is no different. Feast your eyes...

AK Guard Sprocket
Creator of all things cool, Alex Kennedy touched his magic wand upon this Guard sprocket and we reckon it looks pretty damn on point. Designed with the guard to fit IN the sprocket and not just on the surface, this thing should stand up to all the bashin' and sliding you can muster. This thing is made out of the same white coat tested Nylon/Fibreglass material used in Eclat's Venom Pegs and AK’s signature pedal so you know it's legit.
Material: 6061-T6 alloy, full cnc sprocket and nylon/fibreglass replaceable guard
Sizes: 25t or 28t
Thickness: 8mm thick sprocket, 10mm thick guard
Axlebore: 23.8mm

Slot Machine Peg

Need some noise in your life? Maybe you need to switch back to metal, because after all - steel is real. To be fair though, these aren't even made out of steel - they're butted, liquid heat-treated 4140 crmo featuring 5 bore holes, between 5 slick cut-outs to save on the grams.

Grips... not much to them but so important. One of the first points of contact to your bike so you better make sure their soft 'n' grippy.
