Shimano Oval Traction Chainring
Designed to pair with your Shimano XT or XTR crankset, the Shimano Oval Traction Chainring brings claims of improved rear wheel traction resulting from a more consistent pedal stroke. Absolute Black claims that this oval profile maximizes power transfer and smooths the rotation by reducing dead spots and capitalizing on the sweet spots compared to standard round rings. Each chainring size features its own unique oval profile, but the mud-clearing and chain-retaining narrow-wide tooth profile is universal across sizes.

I've always had issues with my drive train. This Chainring seems to be doing the trick! Highly recommend.

great upgrade
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
This chainring upgrade is pretty sweet. Put this on my Pivot Mach 5.5, a bike which already was an exceptional climber in rough terrain. First ride, the oval chainring provided a small but noticeable "boost" during climbing. As stated in many reviews this ring seems to give you a tiny push forward with each pedal stroke and makes it easier to navigate technical terrain and keep the bike moving forward. That said, after the first ride I began to not notice the advantages of this ring at all for the most part. Being an experienced mountain biker, I realize the small advantage that this ring is giving me, although i may not notice it on trail all the time. But here's the deal, If price was not an issue I would put an oval ring on every 1x mountain bike I own simply for the small "boost" it provides (using the word boost sparingly) There is no real disadvantage to having an oval ring except the price. Get one! Also if you have the exact xtr crankset in this link, this ring will not fit perfectly to your cranks. The little bolt covers will not fit properly and you will not be able to use them. I was able to put it together without the small bolt covers although it does look a little funky it seems to function properly. https://www.racycles.com/product/detail/6099
