Designed exclusively for the middle ring position of the M960 crank, this chainring delivers dependable chain retention, clean engagement, and long-term durability without compromising the integrity of a classic race setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt around Wolf Tooth’s patented \u003cstrong\u003eDrop-Stop® wide\/narrow tooth profile\u003c\/strong\u003e, these chainrings maximize chain control in demanding conditions. The wide tooth face increases surface contact on the drive side to better distribute load and extend wear life, while the narrow tooth profile clears mud and debris to reduce friction. The alternating wide\/narrow pattern keeps the chain securely in place, helping prevent derailment when riding aggressively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 102 BCD chainring is engineered solely for the Shimano XTR M960 crankset and fits only in the \u003cstrong\u003emiddle ring position\u003c\/strong\u003e. For riders running a 9-speed drivetrain, Wolf Tooth recommends pairing it with a 10-speed chain. The narrower chain interface improves retention and meshes tightly with the tooth profile for better performance on both 9- and 10-speed systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWolf Tooth 102 BCD Chainrings for XTR M960 Specs at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"specs_at_a_glance\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shimano XTR M960 crankset (middle ring position only).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBCD:\u003c\/strong\u003e 102 BCD specific to M960.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drop-Stop® wide\/narrow design for chain retention and mud clearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChainline:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Bolts:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6mm chainring bolts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeights:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32T – 47g | 34T – 56g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminum.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in the USA.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col class=\"design_benifits\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1x Conversion for a Classic Crankset:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purpose-built to modernize the XTR M960 without sacrificing fit or performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuperior Chain Retention:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drop-Stop® tooth shaping minimizes the risk of chain drops under load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight and Durable:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7075-T6 aluminum balances low weight with long-term wear resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptimized for Real-World Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mud-shedding tooth geometry helps maintain smooth drivetrain function on trail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFinal Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wolf Tooth 102 BCD Chainrings for XTR M960 are a focused solution for riders committed to keeping their XTR M960 crankset relevant in a 1x world.
