We’ve gone above and beyond to create the quietest, quickest, and most secure shifting drivetrain we have ever made.
DYNAMIC CHAIN ENGAGEMENT+ is one of the Technologies making this leap possible. The chainring’s teeth profile has been carefully optimized, intended for single-chainring configurations in XC race, trail, or enduro. This profile gives you better chain retention and smoother pedaling throughout all gears, plus reducing wear and abrasion at the same time.
The DYNAMIC CHAIN ENGAGEMENT+ chainrings are specially designed to work together with the Shimano 12-speed chains. The shape of the chain matches perfectly with the narrow-wide teeth profile, which makes it our most reliable 1X12 drivetrain ever.
