Product Details

These chainrings are for Race Face Cinch cranks such as Turbine, Next SL, Sixc & Aeffect. The Wolf Tooth Cinch rings feature patented Drop-Stop® design for the best wear life, chain retention and mud clearance.

More power? Check. Better traction? Definitely. Less shifting? Yup. Funky uneven pedal stroke? Not with Wolf Tooth’s PowerTrac Elliptical™ (PTE) chainrings. Our proprietary design means a slightly less ovalized ring (10%) with less aggressive timing (112°) than competitors’ versions; any change to your pedal stroke is unnoticeable for most riders, but they still provide the POWER and TRACTION benefits inherent to oval chainrings.

It’s like having two chainrings in one! With PowerTrac Elliptical rings, the larger-diameter section of the ring engages with the chain at the optimal point on the downstroke, or “Power Zone,” – between 1-5 and 7-11 on a clock face – to take advantage of your body’s natural biomechanical Power: For example, during this section, a 34t ring is equivalent to a 36t round ring. Similarly in the “Recovery Zone” (11-1 and 5-7), the smaller section on the PTE ring engages, maximizing efficiency in the weakest part of the pedal stroke; here the 34t ring is equivalent to a 32t round ring.

  • 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

Compatibility

  • These rings fit on any Race Face Cinch™ system crankset.
  • Boost chainring for 148mm rear hub spacing. (3mm offset)
  • Use with 1x9, 1x10, 1x11 and 1x12 drivetrains. 
  • If 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)
  • Not compatible with Sram Transmission (T-type) and road Flattop or Shimano HG+ 12-spd
  • Colour: Black anodized
  • Material: 7075-T6 aluminum.
  • Weight: 28t • 54g  | 30t • 58g  | 32t • 63g  | 34t • 69g | 36t • 75g
