We design MRP guides to be compatible with a wide range of frames, however, in some cases modification is necessary or fitting is impossible.  We do our best to provide fit and compatibility information on this page but if there is any question about whether a guide will work or not, feel free to contact us.

On the product description pages you’ll find an intended usage chart like the one below.  Solid white blocks indicate that the guide is appropriate for the designated type and style of riding. Use this feature to choose a guide based on your bike and riding style.  Please see the descriptions below to see how we classify these groups:

XC riding includes competitive XC, Short-track, and Marathon racing as well as smooth, non-technical off-road riding. We define XC bikes as hardtails and full-suspension bikes with less than 4″ of travel front and rear.

Trail riding is general mountain biking on vaired terrain, from smooth, buff singletrack to slightly more technical features.  We define trailbikes as hardtails and full-suspension bikes with 4-5.5″ of travel. Trail bikes are not intended or designed to handle frequent jumping, drops, or aggressive downhill riding.

All-mountain riding includes Super-D and Enduro racing and any type of riding where the terrain is very technical and small to midsize stunts and features (such as jumps and drops) are common.  This style of bike and riding is fairly new, currently very popular, and still evolving. All-mountain bikes are typically those with 5-7″ of front and rear suspension travel, slack head and seat tube angles, and a design emphasis on downhill prowess.

Freeriding includes riding at bike parks and resorts or a riding style that is focused on features, stunts, and tricks as opposed to fitness, racing, or transportation. These parts are built with an emphasis on durability, not weight.

Downhill can be interpreted primarily as downhill racing.  While these parts share a lot in common with freeride parts, some compromises are made to durability on downhill racing parts in an effort to reduce weight.

Here is a simplified diagram that will help you determine whether your bike has ISCG or ISCG-05 tabs:

By far the easiest way to make a determination is to measure the distance between the two lower holes. For ISCG tabs (also know as ISCG-old and ISCG-03), these holes will measure roughly 48mm apart. For ISCG-05 the distance is roughly 56mm. For detailed information on the ISCG standard click here.

NOTE:

We also have a frame list here to assist you in getting the correct model.
