Wolf Tooth CAMO Aluminum Oval Chainring

More power, better traction, less shifting. Wolf Tooth oval chainrings use Wolf Tooth's proprietary PowerTrac design that has all the benefits of oval, but without the funky, uneven pedal stroke. Ride one once and you'll wonder why you waited so long to try oval.

Think of an oval chainring as two chainrings in one. A major benefit of oval is how the shape of the chainring alters your gearing in two important phases of your pedal stroke by harnessing your body's natural biomechanics. Here's how it works. The area of the chainring with the larger diameter engages with the chain at the optimal point on the downstroke, which is what's known as the Power Zone. If you were to look at a clock, the Power Zone would be between 1 - 5 and 7 - 11. Conversely, the Recovery Zone – back to the clock face, between 11 - 1 and 5 - 7 – is the weakest part of the pedal stroke, when the oval maximizes your efficiency. A 34T oval chainring behaves like a 36T chainring when you want power, while behaving like a 32T chainring when you're climbing.

We've also engineered Wolf Tooth's oval chainrings to provide smoother, more efficient pedal rotation. This equates to better traction because of steadier torque on the rear wheel. With a Wolf Tooth oval chainring, you can harness more of your strength in the Power Zone, while having easier pedaling in the Recovery Zone.

Features:

• Perfect chainline for wear and shifting precision
• Optimal material usage for weight, stiffness, and wear
• Price for less expensive replacement chainrings
• Very fast chainring change out with 5 small bolts and no nuts
• Wolf Tooth's patented Drop-Stop® wide/narrow tooth profile for the ultimate chain retention and mud shedding ability

Compatibility:

• This chainring is for Wolf Tooth CAMO spiders only. It is NOT compatible with any other chainring mountings
• The CAMO spiders come with stainless steel bolts
• For 1x9, 1x10,1x11 and 1x12 drivetrains (including SRAM Eagle)
• If using a 9-speed drivetrain use a 10-speed chain (shifts and works well on a 9-speed drivetrain and fits the ring tighter for better chain retention)
