Product Description

The Wolf Tooth Elliptical 96 BCD Chainring for Shimano XT and SLX is not only beautifully machined and lightweight but utilises a patented wide-narrow design that is perfectly suited to 1x setups – dropped chains are a thing of the past. Unlock your dream drivetrain configuration and satisfy your inner tweaker. red from ice-cold Minneapolis winters and explicitly designed to work perfectly on anything Shimano XT and SLX cranks, this Wolf Tooth 96 BCD Chainring means more time riding and less time fumbling with dropped chains. n line with Wolf Tooth’s guiding ethos of providing unrivalled design innovation, reliability and durability, this chainring employs a patented Drop-Stop® wide-narrow tooth profile which not only keeps the chain securely in place on single chainring setups but dislodges mud, dirt and excess precipitation more efficiently. For additional security in extreme conditions, this chainring is best used with a clutch-type rear derailleur. ynonymous with ultra-high-end custom builds and stalwart steeds alike, Wolf Tooth chainrings are machined entirely in-house at Wolf Tooth’s HQ in Minnesota, USA. The anodised finish and machined lettering that adorn every chainring bear the hallmark of master craftsmanship. owerTrac olf Tooth’s PowerTrac Elliptical (PTE) design, as the name indicates, is driven by a concern for power and traction – and crucially for you, premised on a wealth of knowledge from precision engineers who also love to ride bikes. growing number of riders are converting to elliptical chainrings on 1x setups for the simple reason that they have been demonstrated to improve ride quality. he idea behind elliptical chainrings can be summarised as follows: biomechanical power output varies throughout a pedal stroke. Positions where power is higher have a larger diameter section of chainring and thus a greater engagement area, which translates into greater forward propulsion. At positions where biomechanical power is lower, a smaller chainring diameter means greater efficiency in rotation. Overall what this means for you is maximised power output throughout each pedal stroke. olf Tooth notes that elliptical rings also mean steadier torque on the rear wheel as there is less spinning on the downstroke and easier rotation as a result. Steadier torque on the rear wheel gives better traction and sustained momentum – great on tough climbs and through headwinds. f you’re a discerning cyclist looking to invest in a premium-grade chainring that’ll outlast its competitors and function perfectly on a 1x set up, this is the only way to go. ey Features Patented Drop-Stop® wide-narrow tooth profile for minimised dropped chains erfect for 1x setups achined in-house at Wolf Tooth’s HQ in Minnesota, USA eautiful anodised finish Compatibility These rings fit on the Shimano XT M8000 and SLX M7000 1x or 2x cranksets se only the stock Shimano XT M8000 or SLX M7000 chainring bolts hese CAN be mounted to the XTR 9000 series cranks, but you will have to use the bolt caps that come with that crankset and you will need to file roughly 1mm off the threaded boss on each bolt cap (they are a little too long and don't allow the ring to be tightened down) olf Tooth’s patented Drop-Stop® wide/narrow tooth profile for the ultimate chain retention and mud shedding ability or 1x9, 1x10, 1x11 and 1x12 drivetrains (including SRAM Eagle): Compatible with all 10, 11, and 12-speed chains except Shimano 12-speed chains f using a 9-speed drivetrain use a 10-speed chain (shifts and works well on a 9-speed drivetrain and fits the ring tighter for better chain retention) Chainline - 49mm oost Crankset Chainline - 52 mm Must use the stock chainring bolts.
