cool. SEO game needs work there RYDER!

won't ask the $$$ question, but if it's in line with the rest of the range it will be bang for buck.

Great product that addresses all the shortcomings of the plastic groove tool.

the o ring seals properly

there’s a chain breaker

its a lot stiffer so you can actually use it to tighten your thru axle

Holds chain links

and it has a holder that straps to the bike frame.

well done Ryder!!

It is a fantastically clever design... 👍

Need to upgrade my plastic groove tool for the aluminum one now... 😃

Well done Ryder!

Anyone know where to buy the "Pro" one? All I see advertised is the previous version.

Maybe speak to your Specialized dealer. They have a good selection of Ryder products.

Pretty sure Tygerberg has the old one in stock .... (it does not have the chain breaker).

Surely they can order in the Pro.

I'm going to get one as soon as its available. Design is very neat and compact with most tools required during a ride.

The groove tool pro's design is much neater & compact and this don't have a chain breaker.

@ouzoThe Lezyne Tool doesn’t compare to the groove pro.
it also doesn’t have as many tools. It is handy in having a t handle design so it gets into hard to reach places more easily.

the quality is really good though but the groove pro matches that. It’s a BIG improvement over the std plastic Groove Tool

Nice1, seems to be based on the Fabric Chamber which was made available around 2016, of course no chain tool then but this is a super upgrade to an already great idea.

No chain breaker though

That is one of the reasons I wanted one

I didn't realise that there were 2 versions.
