Wolf Tooth Chainring

The oval shape is designed to smooth out your pedal stroke by altering the gearing throughout the rotation. It effectively increases the gear size during your power phase to maximize output and decreases it during the recovery phase to help you spin through dead spots, which can improve traction and efficiency on technical climbs.

This chainring is highly versatile and compatible with 9, 10, 11, and 12-speed drivetrains, including SRAM Eagle, SRAM Transmission (T-type) Flattop, Campagnolo, and KMC chains. However, you must ensure your crankset uses a 110 mm BCD 5-bolt mounting pattern to fit.

The Drop-Stop B profile features a specialized tooth shape that is wider on the drive side and narrower on the non-drive side. This tight tolerance keeps the chain securely engaged with the ring, even when riding over rough terrain, while also helping to shed mud and debris effectively.

While it is engineered with features like mud-shedding and traction optimization that excel in gravel and cyclocross, it is perfectly suitable for road riding as well. The biomechanical benefits of the oval shape can help reduce fatigue on long road rides, especially when climbing.

Most riders find that the adjustment period is very short, often just a few rides. You may notice a slightly different feel at first, but the design is intended to work with your natural pedaling motion rather than force you to change your technique.
