Wolf Tooth Oval 110 BCD Gravel / CX / Road Chainrings

Wolf Tooth Oval 110 BCD Gravel / CX / Road Chainrings Info

The Wolf Tooth Oval 110 BCD Gravel / CX / Road Chainrings bring the performance advantages of oval chainring geometry to a wide range of classic 110 BCD five-arm cranksets. Designed for both gravel and road riders looking to improve pedaling efficiency and chain security, these chainrings pair Wolf Tooth’s oval shaping with the brand’s patented Drop-Stop® wide/narrow tooth profile for outstanding retention in rough, muddy, or high-torque situations.

The oval design smooths pedal stroke dead spots, improves traction on steep climbs, and enhances overall power delivery—benefits especially noticeable in off-road conditions and on long days in the saddle. Built from CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminum, these rings can be mounted in either the big or small ring position on most double cranksets, provided there is adequate chainstay clearance. Because the ring’s centerline sits approximately 2 mm inward from the mounting face, it typically positions slightly closer to the frame than a stock big ring, helping achieve a suitable chainline for 1x setups.

Compatible with any 110 BCD five-arm crankset, including SRAM models with a hidden fifth bolt, the clocking arrow rotates 180 degrees from typical placement due to the arm layout. Wolf Tooth 6 mm chainring bolts are required, as standard 2x bolts are not compatible with single-ring mounting. Riders using clutch-style rear derailleurs will experience the best chain retention, and those navigating mud-heavy environments may benefit from an added chainkeeper.
