Oval rings make the spin cycle a lot smoother and are easier on legs while climbing.
Believe it (or not), but a round chainring doesn't transfer power to your rear wheel as smoothly as an Oval one. 28T oval ring has smallest diameter in dead spot (equivalent of 26T) and biggest in peak power zone (equivalent of 30T).
That means you will go faster with an oval 30T chainring compared to a round one!
With oval rings you do not generate more power, you just go faster by distributing your leg power smarter.
Thing which is confusing most people is you will actually feel that your stroke is more "round" with an Oval shape than with round chainring.
This is something you can't imagine and we can't show on website - you have to try it to believe it.
28T oval ring will suit best someone who uses 28, 30 or 32T chainring currently.
While pedaling, you will feel quite similar effort to the one riding round 30T ring (as the smallest diameter of the oval is that size), but you will gain the speed similar to riding 32/34T chainring.
It is ideal for people who climb a lot on 1x10/11 system and singlespeeds.
Oval chainring does not compromise the work of clutch mechanism in rear derailleur(video on the bottom).
It also does not require chain tensioner when using in singlespeed application.
Riding out of saddle on the uphill will become more pleasant and you will gain more traction!.
Chainring has build-in 2mm spacers and threaded holes to create better chainline.
Ovality of the chainring is only 11%. These chainrnigs also help you to recover after knee injuries as pedaling becomes smoother and less exhausting.
The most advanced narrow/wide tooth profile on the Market guarantee minimum 12 months of excellent chain retention capabilities!
We mean it. KMC chains recommended.
