Wolf Tooth PowerTrac Elliptical Chainring for Shimano Direct Mount | Oval | Drop-Stop B | 3mm Offset | Boost - 32 Teeth - black

These chainrings are for Shimano direct mount cranks. The Wolf Tooth chainrings feature the patented Drop-Stop® B design for the best wear life, chain retention and mud clearance. Available in multiple tooth profiles for optimal performance based on your chain type. Compatible with XTR M9100, XT M8100, and SLX M7100 series 12 speed cranksets. The chainring offset matches the offset of Shimano chainrings to replicate the intended chainline for the crankset.

More power, better traction, less shifting. Wolf Tooth oval chainrings use their proprietary PowerTrac design that has all the benefits of oval, but without the funky, uneven pedal stroke. Ride one once and you’ll wonder why you waited so long to try oval.

Think of an oval chainring as two chainrings in one. A major benefit of oval is how the shape of the chainring alters your gearing in two important phases of your pedal stroke by harnessing your body’s natural biomechanics. Here’s how it works. The area of the chainring with the larger diameter engages with the chain at the optimal point on the down stroke, which is what’s known as the Power Zone. If you were to look at a clock, the Power Zone would be between 1-5 and 7-11. Conversely, the Recovery Zone – back to the clock face, between 11-1 and 5-7 – is the weakest part of the pedal stroke, when the oval maximizes your efficiency. A 34T oval chainring behaves like a 36T chainring when you want power, while behaving like a 32T chainring when you’re climbing.

Wolf Tooth have also engineered their oval chainrings to provide smoother, more efficient pedal rotation. This equates to better traction because of steadier torque on the rear wheel. With a Wolf Tooth oval chainring, you can harness more of your strength in the Power Zone, while having easier pedaling in the Recovery Zone.

Drop-Stop technology. On Wolf Tooth’s patented wide/narrow chainring, the wide side of the tooth has maximum contact on the drive side which spreads the load and improves chainring life. The narrow side allows clearance for mud and debris which reduces friction. Alternating wide/narrow tooth pattern prevents chain derailment. If using a 9-speed drivetrain, use a 10-speed chain. It fits tighter for better chain retention.

Compatible with all 9/10/11-speed chains and 12-speed chains of KMC, Connex, Wippermann, Campagnolo, SRAM Eagle, SRAM Transmission Flattop.

Not compatible with 12-speed Shimano Hyperglide+ and 13-speed Campagnolo chains !
