Wolf Tooth Elliptical Chainring

The elliptical shape smooths out your pedal stroke by effectively changing the gear ratio throughout the rotation. It provides a slightly easier gear during the 'dead spot' of your stroke and more resistance during the power phase, which helps improve traction and reduces fatigue on long rides.

This chainring is specifically optimized for Shimano Hyperglide+ and KMC 12-speed chains. Please ensure your setup uses these compatible chain types to guarantee the intended performance and chain retention.

No, you do not need to adjust your derailleur settings specifically for the shape of the ring. However, you should ensure your chain length is correct and your derailleur is properly indexed for a 12-speed system as you would with any standard chainring.

Drop-Stop ST is a patented tooth design engineered to keep your chain securely on the ring even over rough, bumpy terrain. It creates a tight interface with the chain links to prevent drops without needing a separate chain guide.

This chainring is designed for 110 mm Asymmetric 4-bolt cranksets. Before purchasing, verify that your specific crankset uses this exact bolt pattern, as it is not universal across all 110 BCD cranks.

7075-T6 aluminum is an aerospace-grade alloy known for its high strength-to-weight ratio. It is significantly more durable and wear-resistant than standard aluminum, making it ideal for the high-torque demands of competitive gravel and road racing.
