  • Bespoke Absolute Black 6 point ramp and recess shifting design shifts better than any other brand and model of oval chainring
  • Finest design that provides excellent strength to weight ratio
  • You will not "feel" the oval shape while pedaling
  • Your pedaling action will feel smoother
  • Helps reduce stress on knees and helping your legs remain fresher for longer
  • You will be able to maintain better cadence while climbing
  • Reduces possibility of leg cramps
  • You will reduce chainring/cog shifts by at least 15%

IMPORTANT: Ramps on big rings are specially configured for combinations: 50/34, 52/36, 52/38, 53/39T. If you wish to use other configuration it will also work, but shifting will be slower and may require more "adjustments" of front dérailleur to be acceptable. Also remember that front dérailleur can only accept max 16T difference between 2 chainrings - this is how Shimano and Sram designed them.
