BLACK by absoluteBLACK Narrow Wide Oval Single Chainring

Oval chainrings are hugely effective because a rider does not produce power evenly through the pedal stroke; this Narrow Wide Oval Single Chainring works to maximise your power output where the most force is applied and minimise resistance where it isn't. Interestingly, your pedal stroke feels more natural and "round" with this Narrow Wide Oval Single Chainring than with a traditional round chainring.

Features:

Material: 7075 Txxx Aluminium

7075 Txxx Aluminium Oval rings help the rider spin smoother, gain a lot more traction in terrain and are easier on legs while climbing

32T is equivalent to 30T at dead spot and 34T at the power zone

34T is equivalent to 32T at dead spot and 36T at the power zone

State of the art Narrow-Wide tooth profile keeps the chain snug, allowing you to leave the chain guide behind
