Does your chain fall off the chainring over bumps or is it just me? Someone pls let me know😭

I'm choosing between the Vorsa and the Xafari right now so this is good to know. Sorry to go off topic, but it'd help me out if you could let me know and I'd appreciate it; what's the acceleration from 0-18 on the Vorsa? Xafari is 5-6 seconds which is really fun, wondering what the Vorsa's is.

It’s got a low end derailleur and the front chainring isn’t a narrow-wide so it will happen, you could look into a chain guide for it. Sometimes you can shorten the chain a few links to get more tension on the derailleur. If you plan on riding on trails and bumpy roads look into getting a clutched derailleur.

I’m new to this. Which clutched derailleur would work for it. It’s 8 speed shimano acera right now

I know that Microshift sells a cheap clutched 8 speed derailleur called the acolyte, it’s like 35 bucks on eBay. You’ll need the matching Microshift shifter around 20 bucks for it too but you should be able to reuse the shifter housing already. You could also look into the Shimano cues 9 speed but you’ll need derailleur cassette and shifter and chain so it would be much more expensive.
