Praxis Wave Mountain Chainring
Best durable drivetrain component for aggressive mountain bikers.
This chainring solves the age-old problem of dropped chains by applying a unique, alternating lateral force that keeps your drivetrain locked in. You sacrifice the simplicity of a standard narrow-wide design, but you gain significantly smoother operation and the kind of security that lets you charge through technical terrain without a second thought.
