Our Premium 1X Oval 96BCD traction chainring is designed for Shimano XTR M9000 and M9020 cranks Only. They feature exactly same oval shape as rest of our oval chainring portfolio. They are not compatible with XT M8000 cranks.

It is ideal for 1x 10/11/12spd and Singlespeeds. Oval (elliptical) chainring does not compromise the work of clutch mechanism in rear derailleur(video at the bottom). It also does not require chain tensioner when using in singlespeed application. Riding out of saddle on the uphill will become more pleasant.

Ovality of the chainring is in range of 10-14% (dependent on size) and feels perfectly round when riding. These chainrings also help you to recover after knee injuries as pedaling becomes smoother and less exhausting. It is the most advanced oval chainring currently on the market.
