Wolf-tooth Wolf Tooth Elliptical Direct Mount Flattop Chainring For Easton Cinch – Drop Stop – Black

Easton Cinch Flattop chainring

The oval Wolf Tooth Elliptical Direct Mount Flattop chainring for the Easton RCA system not only stands out due to its aesthetic finish and low weight: Thanks to the patented Narrow-Wide-Design the optimal 1-fold chainline is achieved and prevents the chain from falling off the chainring. With this setup, your dream of the perfect drive becomes reality!

The winter months in Minneapolis, the production site of the US company, are tough, so this Wolf Tooth Elliptical Direct Mount chainring is designed to be robust and powerful and is optimized for use with Easton RCA cranks and SRAM 12-speed flat top chains – after all, the motto is: We want to ride – and not fiddle with the chain!

In accordance with the quality standards of the Wolf Tooth brand, this product scores with its undisputed design, absolute reliability and high resistance. The patented Drop-Stop® Wide-Narrow tooth profile ensures that the chain runs safely in your simple setup. At the same time it prevents mud and dirt from getting stuck – the result is maximum efficiency! To achieve maximum functionality even under extreme conditions, we recommend the use with a clutch rear derailleur (with rear derailleur damping).

Like all high-end custom bodies and unwaveringly robust bikes, Wolf Tooth chainrings are manufactured from A to Z at the company’s headquarters in Minnesota, USA. Anodized finish and engraved lettering crown each chainring and are the hallmark of this excellent craftsmanship.

PowerTrac

Wolf Tooth’s innovative PowerTrac Elliptical Design (PTE) focuses entirely on optimising performance and traction – and builds on the valuable experience of precision mechanics who, like you, love to sit in the saddle and demand the highest standards!

Many bikers now rely on an oval chainring for their 1x drive, and for a simple reason: This design has been proven to provide improved riding characteristics.

The concept behind oval shaped chainrings can be summed up as follows: The biomechanical power output while pedalling varies during a pedal stroke; at positions where the power is higher, the chainring has a larger diameter. The larger diameter of the chainring means that the power is converted into a larger forward drive. At the points where there is less power, the smaller chainring diameter maximizes the efficiency of the pedal stroke. This means a higher overall pedalling power with each pedal revolution

Wolf Tooth points out that using the elliptical chainring results in more constant torque at the rear wheel, as spinning is reduced during downward movement and pedal rotation becomes smoother and more efficient. The more consistent torque at the rear wheel provides better traction and consistent momentum – ideal for hard climbs and headwinds.

If you are a demanding bike enthusiast looking for unsurpassed durable and perfectly functional premium quality for your 1x drive – you will find it at Wolf Tooth.
