Wolf Tooth Aero Chainring

This chainring is specifically designed for Shimano GRX 800 series cranksets using a 110 mm asymmetric 4-bolt mounting pattern. It will not fit standard 110 mm BCD cranksets from other brands or older Shimano road cranks.

Yes, this chainring is engineered for 12-speed drivetrain compatibility. It uses Wolf Tooth's Drop-Stop ST tooth profile, which is optimized to work seamlessly with the tighter tolerances of modern 12-speed chains.

In most cases, no. The Drop-Stop ST tooth profile is designed to provide exceptional chain retention on its own, even on rough gravel terrain. However, if you are riding in extremely muddy or chaotic conditions, a chain guide can still be used as an extra layer of security.

No, this is a dedicated single-ring (1x) chainring. It is designed to replace both rings on a double crankset setup to streamline your drivetrain and reduce weight.

The aerodynamic shape is designed to reduce drag at higher speeds, making it a great choice for gravel racers or road cyclists looking to maximize efficiency. While the gains are marginal, they contribute to a cleaner, more streamlined setup that performs well in high-speed scenarios.
