Wolf Tooth Direct Mount Chainrings for Cane Creek and SRAM Cranks for Shimano 12spd Hyperglide+ Chain

Wolf Tooth Direct Mount Chainrings for Cane Creek and SRAM Cranks for Shimano 12spd Hyperglide+ Chain Info

Wolf Tooth Direct Mount Chainrings for Cane Creek and SRAM Cranks for Shimano 12spd Hyperglide+ Chain are purpose-built for riders running Shimano’s 12-speed Hyperglide+ drivetrain on direct mount crank platforms. Developed specifically for the unique engagement characteristics of HG+ chains, these nickel-plated chainrings deliver quiet performance, precise retention, and long-term durability.

Unlike traditional wide/narrow designs, Shimano’s Hyperglide+ chain engages the chainring differently under load. To address this, Wolf Tooth engineered a proprietary tooth profile optimized for Shimano XTR, XT, and SLX 12-speed HG+ systems. The result is smooth, consistent drivetrain performance without the premature wear that can occur when pairing HG+ chains with non-optimized chainrings.

Machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished with a durable nickel plating, these chainrings complement the aesthetic of Cane Creek eeWings titanium cranksets while offering corrosion resistance and refined visual appeal. They are equally at home on SRAM 3-bolt direct mount cranksets.
