WOLF TOOTH 12-Speed SHIMANO Direct Mount 0mm Offset Single Chainring

This WOLF TOOTH 12-Speed SHIMANO Single Chainring is designed specifically for the latest generation Shimano cranks (XTR, XT, SLX and Deore) using the Direct Mount system. It combines the robustness of American machining with full compatibility with Japanese chain technologies.

The distinctive feature of this model lies in its Drop-Stop® ST tooth profile. Unlike standard chainrings, it is sculpted to perfectly match the internal shape of Shimano Hyperglide+ (HG+) chains. This guarantees not only exceptional chain retention without a derailleur, but above all silent operation and shifting smoothness identical to original equipment.

Why choose Wolf Tooth over an original Shimano chainring? Wolf Tooth offers a lighter and often more durable alternative thanks to the quality of its 7075 aluminium. Furthermore, their tooth profile is renowned for better mud shedding, which preserves the drivetrain in difficult weather conditions.

Does this chainring work with a SRAM chain? This specific model (Drop-Stop ST) is optimised for Shimano 12-speed chains. If you use a SRAM Eagle chain, it is preferable to go for the Drop-Stop A version to guarantee total silence and optimal chain retention.

Does installation require a special tool? Yes, you will need the Shimano chainring installation tool (often the TL-FC41 or equivalent) to loosen and retighten the lock ring that holds the chainring onto the crank arm.

What is the lifespan of this chainring? Made from 7075-T6 aluminium, this chainring is designed to last several thousand kilometres. To maximise its longevity, we recommend regularly checking your chain wear.
