Keep your chain tight, quiet, and perfectly aligned with the RPC Clamp-On Chain Tensioner—built for riders and builders who want serious adjustability without any cutting or welding. This unit clamps directly to your frame and uses a precision clevis adjuster to fine-tune chain tension with absolute control.
Each tensioner includes a standard heavy-duty roller wheel, perfect for most minibike, kart, and trike setups. For performance builds, you can upgrade to a machined idler sprocket for maximum grip and smoother tracking under high load.
