Key benefits - Improved chain retention: the positive and negative tooth design reduces the chance of the chain dropping, keeping your drivetrain stable over rough terrain. - Lower wear and longer life: tooth profile reduces abrasive wear on both chain and ring, helping components last longer and retain performance. - Smoother, more efficient riding: consistent engagement between chain and ring minimizes slippage and power loss for a more reliable pedal stroke. Main features - Tooth design: Positive and negative (narrow/wide style) tooth profile for better chain seating and retention on single-ring drivetrains. - Compatibility: Fits standard cranks with a 104 mm BCD. Confirm your crank’s 104 mm BCD and the required number-of-teeth specification before purchasing. - Size: Outer diameter of the single chainring is 15.1 cm (5.94"), an appropriate size for most mountain bikes that use a single front ring. - Material: Made from durable aluminium alloy for a balance of strength, weight savings, and corrosion resistance. - Function: Single chainring intended to replace or upgrade existing chainrings on compatible cranks to improve retention and reduce wear. Typical use scenarios - Trail and enduro rides: Replace a worn ring or upgrade to better chain retention for technical singletrack where drops and rough surfaces are frequent. - Cross-country and gravel: Improve drivetrain reliability on extended rides where consistent chain engagement reduces mechanical stops and maintenance. - Replacement or build projects: Ideal when converting to or maintaining a single-chainring setup on a 104 mm BCD crank. Buying and fit reminder - This chainring is designed for cranks with a 104 mm BCD. Please carefully verify your crank’s BCD and the exact tooth-count requirement for your setup before ordering to ensure correct fit and function.
