MRP - Wave Chainring (Bicycle)

The MRP Wave chainring will give you more power in your pedaling stroke! pattern applies alternating lateral force to each chain link to actively retain links to ring - going beyond narrow/wide implementation that relies solely on friction.MRP’s Wave™ tooth pattern swings right to left, grasping the interior of the chain for retention, but allowing room for mud, debris, and grit to escape.

The Wave design creates more open areas for mud and debris evacuation and preserves chain retention in adverse conditions - one of many “Achilles’ Heels” of narrow/wide designs. Designed with mindful consideration of system friction, the Wave design actively engages the chain but yields much less concentrated wear than competing designs spreading the load over large surface areas instead.

The MRP Wave chainring technology utilizes a host of features to provide robust chain handling and retention characteristics while providing market-leading durability. Technological features and benefits include the following:

• Carefully selected chainline specs for SRAM Direct-mount (49mm for 28-34t, 50mm for 36t) and Race Face Cinch mount (50mm for all sizes) rings give you quiet, lasting performance.
• Direct-mount models available for standard and Boost chainlines.
• 104mm BCD, 110mm BCD, Direct-mount for SRAM, and Cinch models.
• NEW Oval models now shipping (1x9/10/11 only, incompatible with SRAM 1x12)
• Machined from durable, long-wearing 7000-series aluminum.
• Tooth faces displaced from nominal centerline to provide active & positive lateral engagement of every chain link with a chainring tooth.
• Alternating lateral force to each chain link to actively retain links to ring.
• Less surface contact between chainring and chain creating minimal friction and maximum retention.
• Equal tooth thickness on entire chainring to allow for maximum mud-shedding clearance.
• Tooth design allows for reduced weight chainrings over competitor technology.
