Wolf Tooth CAMO BashSpider for Shimano

Wolf Tooth CAMO BashSpider for Shimano Info

Wolf Tooth CAMO BashSpider for Shimano is a crankset-mounted spider with an integrated bash ring, engineered specifically for Shimano direct mount cranksets with a removable spider. Designed as part of the CAMO (Chainline And Material Optimization) system, this BashSpider provides drivetrain protection while maintaining precise Boost chainline alignment.

Important: This is the CAMO BashSpider only. A compatible CAMO chainring is required to complete the system.

Unlike frame-mounted bash guards, the CAMO BashSpider integrates directly at the crank interface, offering superior structural support and clean alignment. The integrated bash ring is shaped to “roll” smoothly over rocks and trail obstacles, helping riders maintain momentum while protecting the chainring from impacts.

As part of the modular CAMO system, this spider pairs with Wolf Tooth CAMO chainrings to allow quick chainring swaps using five small bolts—no nuts required. The design optimizes chainline, material usage, and long-term serviceability, while giving riders flexibility to run round or oval chainrings in aluminum or stainless steel.
