Yeah, that is how they pulled me in.trailpimp33 said:

High rollers for sure.....
They drive a clapped out old bread truck to the races providing support to all their customers.
That bread truck was new FYI - then they let Heikki drive it.Jeremy R said:

it did almost kill Piper and I this year going to Mountain Creek. We blew a tire on 95 and ripped a hole in the back of the truck. Crazy I tellz ya, CRAZY!and for trailpimp33
as far as I know, e13 doesn't pay any riders to run product.
I almost got a MRP......but Ebay went too high 
So I got SRS's on 2 of the 3 bikes I own (becuase one has 3 chainrings, don't need a guide). They are easy to setup, easy to troubleshoot if something is wrong, pretty light, strong as hell, and easy to get support for. What else do you want?

Ya, that kid is a bit confused. MRP DOES pay riders to ride their product... Peaty is a good example of this. I believe Lopes as well, but not sure about him.RD said:

Hmmmmmm, 1 post and a very strong opinion
Another vote for e13 here. I have belted the living piss out of mine, and I heard the little polycarbonate gremlins laughing at me for bothering to try. I've bottomed it into rocks at high speed, smacked it on everything you could imagine (I am TEH SMOOHT!!!11!ONE. seriously.), grinded sideways across rocks on it (not intentionally, just one of those things that happens in the course of trying not to crash), and so on. No damage whatsoever other than scratching up the bashy. No chain loss whatsoever except one time it dropped and I couldn't work out why... never happened before and never happened since so I'm not too worried about it.
The bending seems to be the biggest issue with mrp and the strength of e-13 seems to be the bash. I have an e-13 drs on my bullit and had one on it before. they work great and perform flawless, my rm7 has a mrp lrp with a e-13 bash and works flawless as well. The guide systems themselves are not much diiferent.
The both have a back guide and a drop arm the houses the roller, both systems will accomdate the e-13 bash. I havent had any problems with either. As long as I have a e-13 bash either work just fine and without prejeduice they both are great from a design and finished perspective. I do anodizing and see all sorts of different milling and cnc'd products everyday, both these companies put out a quality product.
As far as people complaining about the bearings packing up in crappy weather on the mrp, they are almost identical in everyway to the e-13 roller.

one more vote for e13, very solid and the CS is the best in the buisness.
...bent MRP plates???
Really?
I've been running that system in one form or another (System 1, or System 3) and never had an issue with that... and I'm not smooth AT ALL.
I've hit boulders, concrete ledges, logs,.... boulders....
- and never bent the things...
Even with my new System 3, I've bashed the boomerang on boulders during race runs at Diablo, and only scaped the hell out of it - my plates have only been notched, but never folded or bent.
Just what the hell are you guys riding over?

I've bent my MRP plates on several occasions. I won't get into the gory details, but sandstone won and aluminum lost every time
MRP's are a bit quieter IMO, but thats the only advantage I've found. I've had more chain jams and derraillments with MRP's and only one with an E13.
They both do an excellent job of holding the chain on, thats for sure.
But e13 wins on durability, and value. Their customer support is almost to the point of ridiculous.
They are the kings for good reason.

I have a box full of bent boomerangs, as well as inner and outer plates mangled beyond recognition. You hit those things hard once and they're done. There used to be silver rocks at the mountain I ride dh on back when mrps were THE standard. I haven't ridden the newer plastic ones but the all aluminum guides are junk compared to what's being made now.S.K.C. said:...bent MRP plates???

I had one on a dirt jump bike that both plates split farther apart than jenna jameson with a $1000 bill being waved in her face. This was casing on DIRT.
come to windrock next season and find out.S.K.C. said:...bent MRP plates???

I agree. I've run a Gamut (both the P40 and G45) for a year now and it's been great. I had a E13 before the Gamut and they're about the same reliability-wise, thought I think the Gamut is smoother and it's a lot lighter. www.gamutusa.comkonastab01 said:
If you really need to choose between the MRP and E13, then get the E13 no question. I've seen too many dropped chains and bent plates on MRPs, and so far I've seen no E13 failures.

Preciouse moments wiating on the side of the highway with Dick, hobbling around at 10mph to get help. Great fun, it really is all worth it though being able to help out at the races and support the customers.
I almost bought one of these over the weekend, but the guy was an asswhole at Rage Cycles in Scottsdale. Has anyone run one of theses yet?sleepinggiant said:Both excelent choices IMO. The new MRP with the lexan bash ring is pretty sexy too
I took the e 13 OFF of my bike and put a MRP on. I don't anything about the e 13. A lot of people get a stiffy over them but I prefer the tried and true MRP. Just my opinion but please, any question? Refer to my signature.
I have the DRS and the SRS on different bikes and they work great, no complaints.
