Last year at Interbike, we got to see the latest offerings by K-Edge with the release of the Cross Single XL Chain Catcher. With the release, K-Edge affirmed that they understood the requirements for keeping a chain on in cyclocross is far different than that for road. While the catcher is over three times as heavy as the standard model for road, the XL model was a first for the company to offer an insurance policy for the latest generation of single chainring setups.
Nearly a half year later, we caught a surprise at Nationals in Austin that K-Edge had not mentioned at Interbike. On both Danny Summerhill and Logan Owen’s bikes, a K-Edge prototype for a SRAM CX1 was employed.
For 2015, we caught back up with K-Edge, and the company has just released details on the availability of the prototype for general use, as well as the new products they have created over the last 12 months for new ways to mount computers and sports cameras.

K-Edge’s newest Cross Single Chain Catcher surrounds the full chain, and will be finally released to the larger public in January. K-Edge reported that they are also looking into efficient ways in allowing the chain catcher to be horizontally adjustable, although that was not the case for the prototype we saw. © Andrew Reimann / Cyclocross Magazine
