Wolf Tooth Oval Direct Mount Chainrings for SRAM 8-Bolt Mountain Cranks

Wolf Tooth Oval Direct Mount Chainrings for SRAM 8-Bolt Mountain Cranks are purpose-built for riders running SRAM Transmission and other 8-bolt mountain cranksets who want to fine-tune gearing while gaining the performance benefits of an oval profile. Designed and machined in the USA, these chainrings are optimized specifically for SRAM T-Type chains and modern mountain drivetrains.

The oval design helps smooth out power delivery by reducing dead spots in the pedal stroke and maximizing torque during the power phase. For technical climbs and punchy trail efforts, this translates to improved traction and a more controlled feel under load. Combined with Wolf Tooth’s patented Drop-Stop® wide/narrow tooth profile, the result is outstanding chain retention and effective mud shedding in demanding conditions.

Precision CNC machined from high-strength 7075-T6 aluminum, these chainrings offer an ideal balance of stiffness, durability, and low weight. They are available in both 3mm and 0mm offsets to properly align with SRAM’s required chainline standards for Transmission systems.

Compatibility

• Crank Interface: SRAM 8-bolt direct mount standard
• Groupsets: SRAM T-Type Transmission AXS and compatible 8-bolt mountain cranksets
