absoluteBLACK Oval Road 110/4 Chainring for Shimano Dura-Ace 9000 / Ultegra 6800

The absoluteBLACK Oval Road 110/4 chainring for Shimano Dura-Ace 9000 and other 4-arm cranks

This oval 2-speed chainring by absoluteBLACK was developed for the Shimano Dura-Ace 9000 and Ultegra 6800 road bike cranks, which have four asymmetrically arranged arms and a bolt circle diameter of 110 mm. It also fits 105 5800 and Tiagra 4700. The chainring is designed for super-fast and smooth shifting. It is made of premium quality aluminium and is characterised by particular rigidity. Thanks to the oval shape, you optimise your pedalling movement, reduce the strain on your knees and move forward faster.

Technology:

Oval Chainrings
Oval chainrings follow the natural physiology of humans. They maximise pedalling power the moment it is developed and minimise resistance when it is not. As a result, oval chainrings allow the rider to pedal more smoothly and stay loose on the climb.
In fact, your pedal stroke will feel " rounder" with an oval chainring than with a round chainring.
Compared to round chainrings, oval chainrings address more muscle groups - but each of them to a lesser degree. The total load of pedalling is therefore distributed over a larger muscle mass and the knees are less strained.
This has three advantages: 1. The legs remain fresher and more relaxed. 2. You can go uphill faster. 3. Spreading the load over more muscles reduces the susceptibility to cramps, even with great effort. Ultimately this will increase your riding pleasure. For MTB applications, the rear wheel traction is increased on loose and slippery surfaces, allowing you to make better progress on demanding terrain.
