Wolf Tooth Elliptical Direct Mount Chainring - 38t SRAM Direct Mount 6mm Offset Drop-Stop Flattop Compatible BLK

Experience optimized cycling performance with the Wolf Tooth Elliptical Direct Mount Chainring - 38t SRAM Direct Mount 6mm Offset Drop-Stop Flattop Compatible Black. Engineered specifically for SRAM cranksets featuring removable spiders, this chainring integrates a patented 10% ovality and a precise 112-degree timing after top dead center. This innovative design delivers the well-known advantages of an oval chainring—like enhanced rear wheel traction—while eliminating the common drawbacks traditionally associated with oval rings, ensuring a smooth and efficient ride every time.

• Elliptical Design for Enhanced Efficiency: The elliptical shape promotes a smoother and more efficient pedal stroke, resulting in improved traction and power transfer to the rear wheel.
• Drop-Stop Technology: Specially crafted for 1x9, 1x10, 1x11, and 1x12 drivetrains, these chainrings ensure superior chain retention and consistent performance in demanding conditions.
• Wide Compatibility: Compatible with all 10-, 11-, and 12-speed chains except Shimano 12-speed chains. For Shimano 12-speed users, Wolf Tooth offers dedicated chainrings designed specifically for optimal performance.
• Optimized for 9-Speed Systems: If you’re running a 9-speed drivetrain, pairing this chainring with a 10-speed chain creates a tighter fit, significantly enhancing chain retention and reducing the risk of drops.
• Exclusions: Not compatible with SRAM RED and Force AXS 8-bolt interfaces, ensuring you select the perfect fit for your setup.
• Durable Construction: Crafted from premium 7075-T6 aluminum, this chainring offers exceptional durability and longevity even under rigorous riding conditions.
• Recommended Use: For the best shifting stability and chain control, pairing this chainring with a clutch-style rear derailleur is strongly advised.
