Wolf Tooth Oval Direct Mount Chainrings for Race Face Cinch Info

Wolf Tooth Oval Direct Mount Chainrings for Race Face Cinch are designed for riders who want smoother power delivery, improved traction, and reliable chain retention from a modern 1x drivetrain. Built specifically for Race Face Cinch cranksets, these oval chainrings pair Wolf Tooth’s precision machining with their proven tooth profiles to deliver consistent performance across a wide range of trail and riding conditions.

The oval profile helps reduce dead spots in the pedal stroke while improving torque application on steep climbs and technical terrain. Machined from durable 7075-T6 aluminum and made in the USA, these chainrings are engineered for long wear life and dependable performance, whether you’re riding trail, enduro, or all-mountain setups.

The result is excellent chain retention, smooth running, and effective mud shedding without the need for excessive drivetrain tension.
