Wolf Tooth Oval Direct Mount Chainrings for SRAM 8-Bolt Gravel / Road Cranks

Wolf Tooth Oval Direct Mount Chainrings for SRAM 8-Bolt Gravel / Road Cranks Info

Wolf Tooth Oval Direct Mount Chainrings for SRAM 8-Bolt Gravel / Road Cranks are engineered to deliver smoother power delivery, exceptional chain security, and a clean, spider-free aesthetic for modern 1x drivetrains. By replacing both the spider and chainring with a single CNC-machined piece, these oval rings maximize stiffness while keeping weight impressively low.

The oval profile is designed to improve pedaling efficiency by reducing dead spots through the pedal stroke, helping riders maintain momentum on long climbs, rough gravel, and rolling terrain. Paired with Wolf Tooth’s patented Drop-Stop® B tooth profile, the chainring delivers outstanding wear life, quiet operation, and reliable chain retention—even in muddy or high-vibration conditions.

Optimized specifically for SRAM Eagle and Flattop chains, these chainrings are fully compatible with modern SRAM 12- and 13-speed gravel and road groups, including Red XPLR AXS. Precise chainline geometry ensures proper drivetrain alignment across standard and wide spindle cranksets, making this an ideal upgrade for performance-focused gravel and all-road builds.
