What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I've seen these survive conditions that destroy standard rings. Power feels smoother in soft sand, fatigue sets in later, and durability has been excellent through repeated beach races."Beach racing demands consistency when the surface never stops changing, and the Beach Racing Oval Chainrings 104BCD are built specifically for that challenge. Designed by absoluteBLACK for riding in wet and dry sea sand, these chainrings help us keep momentum when rolling resistance spikes and traction fades without warning. From hard-packed sections to deep, shifting sand, the oval profile keeps effort controlled and predictable. The size-tuned ovality smooths the pedal stroke and reduces dead spots, helping us stay seated longer and conserve energy over long, grinding efforts. CNC-machined from 7075 aluminum and finished for abrasion resistance, the ring is built to handle sand, salt, and constant drivetrain load. Delivered with mounting bolts, it's a purpose-built solution for riders racing where standard components wear fast and performance margins are thin.
