Designed for models including M782, M672, M622, and M612, this chainring brings Wolf Tooth’s proven Drop-Stop technology to a platform that many riders still love for its durability and versatility. Machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and built with integrated threaded standoffs, it provides an ideal 49 mm chainline that works well on traditional setups and is excellent on most Boost frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWolf Tooth’s patented Drop-Stop wide\/narrow tooth profile ensures consistent chain retention across rough terrain and variable conditions. The wide teeth maximize load distribution to extend chainring life, while the narrow teeth clear mud and debris to keep friction low and shifting smooth. Whether you’re upgrading an older mountain bike, simplifying your drivetrain, or refreshing a long-term build, this 96 mm symmetrical chainring enhances reliability and efficiency with modern engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with any 96 BCD Shimano symmetrical 4-bolt crankset, the chainring is not intended for XTR M9000 or XT M8000 platforms, which use different BCD layouts. Riders running 9-speed drivetrains are encouraged to use a 10-speed chain for tighter engagement and improved retention. For added protection, Wolf Tooth’s 96 BCD bash ring pairs perfectly with this chainring, and 10 mm bolts (required when used with the bash) ensure proper mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWolf Tooth 96 mm Symmetrical BCD Chainring Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits any 96 BCD Shimano symmetrical 4-bolt crankset (M782, M672, M622, M612); not compatible with XTR M9000 or XT M8000.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChainline:\u003c\/strong\u003e 49 mm; performs well on most Boost bikes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drop-Stop wide\/narrow design for chain retention, durability, and mud clearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrivetrain Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works with 9–12 speed systems; use a 10-speed chain for 9-speed drivetrains.\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\u003eWeights:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30T – 41 g; 32T – 50 g; 34T – 59 g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses 10 mm bolts optimized for this ring; required when used with the 96 BCD bash ring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the USA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manufactured in Minnesota.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSimplify your drivetrain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Converts Shimano compact triple setups into clean, modern 1x systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExceptional retention:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drop-Stop engineering prevents derailments in rough and muddy conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptimized alignment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Threaded standoffs maintain an ideal 49 mm chainline across a range of bikes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurability and value:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-grade alloy construction provides long wear life with minimal weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFinal Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Wolf Tooth chainring is a standout upgrade for riders looking to modernize Shimano compact triple cranksets.
