"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I was cautious about running an oval ring on a 2x road setup, but this one won me over quickly. Power feels more even on climbs, knee strain is noticeably reduced, and shifting has been far better than I expected.""Long road climbs and rolling terrain reward efficiency we can feel through the pedals, and that’s where the Premium Oval Road 110/5 BCD Chainring for SRAM stands out. Designed by absoluteBLACK specifically for SRAM road cranks with a hidden chainring bolt, it brings a smoother, more controlled pedal stroke to riders who spend long hours managing cadence and effort. From steady endurance rides to sustained climbs, the oval shape helps us stay relaxed and consistent when fatigue would normally creep in. Each size is tuned with its own ovality and timing to reduce dead spots and extend the effective power phase of the pedal stroke. CNC-machined from 7075 aluminum, the ring maintains stiffness under load while carefully shaped shift ramps preserve fast, predictable front shifting. The result is an oval chainring that feels natural within minutes and integrates cleanly into a high-performance 2x road drivetrain."
