Suntour's quick-cage. Another clever idea from those wizards. It was also used on the some of the Vx and maybe VGT. It let the tension pulley be open so the chain could be lifted off easily. I did have the chain bounce out of the cage once when the FD threw it off the small chainring. It was on a Vx, not a Cyclone. I guess every good idea has a down-side.
