CLIMB EASIER, PEDAL SMOOTHER & GET LESS TIRED


Oval chainrings don't produce more power, they increase your pedalling effectiveness. This means they reduce the component of your pedal pushing force, which doesn't contribute to moving your bike forward. The less force you waste the more energy you preserve, allowing you to push harder when it counts or simply reduce tiredness. This is the reason why you can ride faster with our ovals.

Oval Chainrings

Oval chainrings work because riders do not produce power evenly through a pedal stroke –the musculature of human legs makes it difficult to maintain an even power delivery to a round chainring. Believe it or not, but a round chainring doesn't transfer torque to your rear wheel as smoothly as an Oval one. Oval rings work with the natural human physiology.  Meaning you will go faster and get less tired.
