Wolf Tooth Components 104 Bcd Oval Chainring Black, 32T

More power, better traction, less shifting. Wolf Tooth oval chainrings use our 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.

• Optimized for compatibility with 104 BCD cranksets, these Wolf Tooth Oval 104 BCD Chainrings are engineered for versatile use across 1x9, 1x10, 1x11, and 1x12 drivetrain systems, including SRAM Eagle, ensuring seamless performance on mountain bikes and gravel bikes.
• Constructed from durable 7075-T6 aluminum, these black 32T Drop-Stop B chainrings offer exceptional strength, lightweight performance, and corrosion resistance for demanding off-road adventures and daily rides.
• Featuring Wolf Tooth's patented wide/narrow tooth profile, these chainrings provide superior chain retention, mud shedding, and reduced chain drops, making them ideal for muddy terrain and aggressive riding conditions.
• Designed with innovative DropStop B technology, these chainrings are compatible with 10mm chainring bolts (not included), and are optimized for E-bike applications, supporting enhanced power transfer and reliability for e-mountain and e-road bikes.
• With specific ovality (10%) and timing (112 after TDC), these oval chainrings improve pedaling efficiency by smoothing power delivery, reducing fatigue, and maximizing energy output during long rides or challenging climbs.
