Easton Direct Mount Chainring

Easton direct mount rings use a new narrow/wide design specifically tailored to road/cx/gravel applications. The individual tooth profile has moved from the traditional symmetrical shape to more directional specific design with the intention to create a positive chain roller engagement to help with chain retention, critical to prevent chain slip and bounce over rough terrain. Combined with taller teeth the Easton narrow/wide ring can be used without a chain guide or clutch derailleur. The wide-tooth material has been removed from each side to reduce running noise and drag when running at extreme edges of the cassette. Combined with additional material removal at the base of the teeth ensuring excellent mud shed and chain retention in the muddiest of CX conditions
