New Smoker Performance Mini Hub Sprocket Guard – Now You Can Actually See Your Gear Number

Big news for 4-cycle kart racers! We just launched the all-new Smoker Performance Mini Hub Sprocket Guard – a complete 4-piece lightweight PETG set that is a direct replacement and upgrade for the original Smoker Performance carbon fiber gear guard.

Here it is in action – smoking hot and ready for the track:

The Big Difference: Gear Visibility

Unlike the original carbon fiber version from Smoker Performance where you can’t read the gear number at all, our modified sprocket guard has been specifically designed with strategic cutouts so you can clearly see your gear size while the guard is installed on the kart.

It still requires a quick look and isn’t instantly obvious – a competitor would need a few seconds to spot it if they didn’t know exactly where to look. But that’s still a huge advantage compared to the OEM carbon guard that hides the gear number completely.

Better Price, Almost the Same Weight

This new guard is also much cheaper than the $90 retail price of the carbon fiber version while being almost the same weight. You get the performance and protection you want without paying carbon prices.

Why Racers Are Switching to Smoker Performance Mini Hubs

More and more racers are moving to the Smoker Performance Mini Sprocket Hub for its superior design and reliability. We only sell the replacement gear guards – we are not currently a dealer for the complete Smoker Performance hub system.

If you need the full hub, you can find it directly from Smoker Performance or by messaging Mike Smoker on Instagram at @smoker_performance.
