Race Legality & Safety Compliance
Ironman Triathlon and World Triathlon have confirmed that the EZ Gains® Aero Chainring Guard is legal for use in draft-illegal races and complies with governing body safety standards.
Ironman / World Triathlon Rule 5.03(h):
All aspects of the bicycle must be safe for the rider and other competitors. Minimum safety standards include meeting or exceeding those set by recognised safety standards organisations such as CPSC, ISO, or equivalent bodies.
Important Notes
- Carbon weave patterns may vary slightly between products.
- Take care when cleaning the bike or lubricating the chain to avoid affecting the adhesive properties of the 3M tape.
- We recommend purchasing additional chainring guard tape if you are using a Shimano power meter. The guard must be removed for battery recharging. Battery life varies by model, but is typically 200–300 hours. Please check Shimano documentation for precise battery specifications.

The Science
Tests conducted by Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub's independent engineers
Independently Tested Aerodynamic Performance
Aerodynamic testing was conducted by independent engineers at the Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub.
EZ Gains® has identified and addressed an often-overlooked source of aerodynamic drag: the chainring.
Similar to wheel aerodynamics, airflow can become trapped within the open structure of the chainring, increasing drag and reducing efficiency. To counter this, EZ Gains® developed a simple, cost-effective carbon fibre chainring guard designed to integrate seamlessly with most drivetrain setups.
Installation is straightforward: remove the pedal, apply the supplied double-sided tape, fit the guard, and you’re ready to ride.
EZ Aero Chainring Guard
Designed to smooth airflow through the chainring area, delivering measurable aerodynamic gains without compromising compatibility or safety.
Custom engineered to fit all chainring sizes, crankset arms, and most power meters.
This is the averaged data for speeds between 30-50kph across all angles tested.
