Wolf Tooth Oval 110 BCD Asymmetric 4-Bolt Chainrings for Shimano GRX Cranks

Wolf Tooth Oval 110 BCD Asymmetric 4-Bolt Chainrings for Shimano GRX Cranks Info

Wolf Tooth Oval 110 BCD Asymmetric 4-Bolt Chainrings for Shimano GRX Cranks are designed for riders who want the efficiency and traction benefits of an oval chainring while maintaining the clean integration and reliability expected from a GRX-specific drivetrain. Built specifically for Shimano GRX cranksets, these chainrings deliver consistent chain control across gravel, mixed terrain, and long-distance riding.

At the heart of the design is Wolf Tooth’s patented Drop-Stop® tooth profile, engineered to maximize chain retention, extend wear life, and shed mud in adverse conditions. Riders running Shimano GRX 12-speed systems benefit from Drop-Stop ST, a profile developed exclusively for Shimano Hyperglide+ chains. For riders on 9-, 10-, 11-, or non-HG+ 12-speed drivetrains—including SRAM Flattop—Drop-Stop B provides the same secure, quiet performance across a wide range of chain standards.

The oval profile helps smooth power delivery through the pedal stroke, improving traction on loose climbs and reducing fatigue during sustained efforts. Select sizes are also available with an aero profile, offering additional efficiency gains for riders focused on speed and clean aesthetics.
