Unlock your dream drivetrain configuration and satisfy your inner tweaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBred from ice-cold Minneapolis winters and explicitly designed to work perfectly with \u003cspan\u003eSRAM Cranks\u003c\/span\u003e, this direct mount chainring means more time riding and less time fumbling with dropped chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn line with Wolf Tooth’s guiding ethos of providing unrivalled design innovation, reliability and durability, this chainring employs a patented Drop-Stop® wide-narrow tooth profile which not only keeps the chain securely in place on single chainring setups but dislodges mud, dirt and excess precipitation more efficiently. For additional security in extreme conditions, this chainring is best used with a clutch-type rear derailleur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSynonymous with ultra-high-end custom builds and stalwart steeds alike, Wolf Tooth chainrings are machined entirely in-house at Wolf Tooth’s HQ in Minnesota, USA. The anodised finish and machined lettering that adorn every chainring bear the hallmark of master craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePowerTrac\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWolf Tooth’s PowerTrac Elliptical (PTE) design, as the name indicates, is driven by a concern for power and traction – and crucially for you, premised on a wealth of knowledge from precision engineers who also love to ride bikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA growing number of riders are converting to elliptical chainrings on 1x setups for the simple reason that they have been demonstrated to improve ride quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe idea behind elliptical chainrings can be summarised as follows: biomechanical power output varies throughout a pedal stroke. Positions where power is higher have a larger diameter section of chainring and thus a greater engagement area, which translates into greater forward propulsion. At positions where biomechanical power is lower, a smaller chainring diameter means greater efficiency in rotation. Overall what this means for you is maximised power output throughout each pedal stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWolf Tooth notes that elliptical rings also mean steadier torque on the rear wheel as there is less spinning on the downstroke and easier rotation as a result. Steadier torque on the rear wheel gives better traction and sustained momentum – great on tough climbs and through headwinds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you’re a discerning cyclist looking to invest in a premium-grade chainring that’ll outlast its competitors and function perfectly on a 1x set up, this is the only way to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e9, 10, 11,12spd Eagle – these chainrings are designed to work with all 9-speed, 10-speed, and 11-speed chains.
