The Wolf Tooth CAMO Stainless Steel Elliptical Chainring is not only beautifully machined and lightweight, but it also features a patented wide-narrow design that is perfect for 1x setups. Say goodbye to dropped chains with this innovative chainring. Designed to work seamlessly with Wolf Tooth's CAMO Spider, this chainring ensures more time on the bike and less time dealing with dropped chains. With a commitment to design innovation, reliability, and durability, Wolf Tooth has created a chainring that utilizes a patented Drop-Stop® wide-narrow tooth profile. This profile not only keeps the chain securely in place on single chainring setups but also effectively removes mud, dirt, and excess precipitation. For added security in extreme conditions, it is recommended to use this chainring with a clutch-type rear derailleur. Wolf Tooth chainrings are synonymous with ultra-high-end custom builds and reliable performance. Each chainring is machined entirely in-house at Wolf Tooth's headquarters in Minnesota, USA. Made from 416 stainless steel, this chainring is incredibly durable and outlasts aluminum chainrings by a significant margin. This reflects Wolf Tooth's commitment to lasting quality and longevity. The CAMO design by Wolf Tooth allows you to replace your stock direct mount style chainrings with a spider and traditional chainring setup. By using the spider in conjunction with a Wolf Tooth chainring, you can achieve the perfect chainline for precise shifting, save money on future replacement chainrings, and add a pop of color to your ride.The PowerTrac Elliptical (PTE) design by Wolf Tooth focuses on power and traction. Many riders are switching to elliptical chainrings on 1x setups because they have been shown to improve ride quality. The elliptical shape of the chainring maximizes power output throughout each pedal stroke, providing greater efficiency and momentum. It also ensures steadier torque on the rear wheel, resulting in better traction on tough climbs and in headwinds.Compatibility:- Compatible with Wolf Tooth CAMO spiders.
