Wolf Tooth

Drop-Stop PowerTrac Chainring Asym BCD, For Shimano XT M8000

Wolf Tooth combines their Drop-Stop technology with a proprietary 10% elliptical design, with 112 degrees of timing. Why go oval? Elliptical chainrings effectively give you the feel of 2 less chainrings at the weakest part of your pedal stroke and 2 additional teeth at the strongest. The Elliptical chainrings feel this way because the radius of the chainring is constantly changing throughout the rotation.

When purchasing a Wolf Tooth Elliptical chainring please keep this mind, if your frame has a maximum chainring size of 32t, the largest elliptical chainring you can use is a 30t because it has at its widest diameter the same size as a 32t.

The Wolf Tooth Shimano XT M8000 Elliptical Chainring uses the stock Shimano chainring bolts, do not use after market bolts as they will not be spaced properly and could damage the crank, chainring and possibly your frame. This chainring will fit the Shimano XTR M9000 cranks but it is not a direct fit. You will need to use the stock XTR bolt caps but they will need to be filed down by around 1mm each because they are too long when used with the thinner Wolf Tooth Chainring vs the stock XTR chainring. Failure to do this will result in a chainring that won't be properly seated.
