New CycleX cam tensioners up and running.

I for one have been looking fwd to seeing these hit the market. 

IMHO, it’s a logical well thought out design, with top shelf materials(Pa-46 is a super high end slider material) and machine work.  I’m confident they will be worth the wait.  They should be a great long lasting bolt in addition to any engine, from stock to full racing.  I suspect they will be a big seller.

Nice work Kenny 👍

Well, I’m pretty sure Matt will be the first to try one of these tensioners on a road race bike and new engine build.  I secured another setup for future use.

I like the CycleX primary tensioner design as well.  I do hope it is available soon.  I have an engine in mind for one.

 Make sure the flats cut into the top pin of the front blade are positioned so the blade does not wobble or move around excessively.
