Funn Zippa Lite MTB bash guard 26T–32T ISCG05 mount — AL7075 backplate & replaceable bumper

Riders who push hard on technical singletrack need a compact, tough bash guard that won’t add unnecessary weight or complexity. The Zippa Lite combines a CNC-machined AL7075 backplate with a replaceable thermoplastic bumper, giving you a slim, reliable shield for 1x chainrings from 26T to 32T. Designed to bolt to frames with an ISCG05 mount, it installs quickly and integrates cleanly with Funn’s Zippa Lite chain guide for comprehensive front-end protection.

How does the Zippa Lite protect my chainring on rocky trails?

The Zippa Lite absorbs and redirects impacts away from the chainring teeth, reducing the chance of bent teeth or costly replacement. Its aluminium backplate provides a rigid barrier while the thermoplastic bumper takes the brunt of hits and can be swapped when worn.

• CNC-machined AL7075 backplate for rigid impact resistance.
• Thermoplastic polymer bumper cushions strikes and scrapes.
• Replaceable bumpers extend the life of the guard.
• Low-profile design reduces snagging on obstacles.

Will it fit my bike and chainring size?

The guard is tailored for single (1x) chainrings from 26T up to 32T and mounts to frames equipped with an ISCG05 standard. If your frame uses ISCG05 tabs and your crankset is within the stated tooth range, the Zippa Lite offers a straightforward fit.

• Compatible with 26T–32T single chainrings.
• Requires ISCG05 mounting points on the frame.
• Works with most 1x drivetrain setups without chainline interference.

How durable is the construction and what needs replacing?

The structural core is heat-treated AL7075 for strength and impact resistance, while the thermoplastic bumper is engineered to take wear. Instead of replacing the whole guard after heavy use, you only swap the bumpers—two are included—making maintenance quick and cost-effective.

• Heat-treated AL7075 backplate for long-term rigidity.
• Two replaceable thermoplastic bumpers included in the kit.
• Bumper change requires basic tools and minimal time.

Does the Zippa Lite work with a Zippa Lite chain guide?

Yes—this bash guard is built to integrate with Funn’s Zippa Lite chain guide for layered protection. When paired, the guard and guide work together to keep the chain on the ring and shield the ring from trail impacts.

• Designed for seamless pairing with the Zippa Lite chain guide.
• Provides combined protection against drops and hits.
• Maintains a tidy, low-profile cockpit aesthetic when installed.

Who is this for? The Funn Zippa Lite MTB Bash Guard suits trail and enduro riders who use 1x drivetrains with 26T–32T chainrings and have ISCG05 mounts. It’s ideal if you want a lightweight, serviceable bash guard that deflects rocks and roots without adding bulk, and for riders who prefer replaceable wear parts to full-component swaps.
