I put the roller relocator on mine after I chewed my stock one up. I have only gone to the dunes once since I got it and the chain didn't even touch it. No hard jumping. This weekend I'm going to Mesquite, NV to a track there and I'm sure it will get some action there. I'm going to say yes, it's worth it because if you don't buy it, then the stock one will just get chewed up and you'll end up ruining your chain.
