What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I've set these up on both newer and older road cranks, and the ride feel is consistently impressive. The oval shape smooths out power on long climbs, and shifting performance is good enough that it never feels like a compromise."Long road climbs and rolling terrain reward efficiency we can feel through every pedal stroke, and that's where the Premium OVAL Road 110BCD Chainring earns its place. Designed by absoluteBLACK for 110 BCD road cranksets, this chainring brings a smoother, more controlled pedaling experience to riders who spend hours in the saddle chasing elevation, endurance, or consistency. Each size is tuned with its own ovality and timing to reduce dead spots in the pedal stroke and support stronger, more fluid climbing. CNC-machined from 7075 aluminum, the ring stays stiff under load while refined shift ramps preserve fast, predictable front shifting across a wide range of cadences. Whether mounted on newer 4-bolt Shimano cranks or 5-bolt designs, it delivers a natural oval feel that fades into the ride within minutes and keeps fatigue in check over long days.
