Rotor QX1 Narrow/Wide MTB Chainring

Whether it be a pro rider on TV or a fellow local cyclist, you may have seen these ovalized chainrings at one time or another. You then probably immediately asked yourself, "What do they do?" Let us explain.

Rotor Q-Rings vary drivetrain resistance during a pedal rotation to align with your leg's natural strength spots and weak spots to boost your overall efficiency. In doing so, Q rings wisely utilize the strongest muscle groups to increase positive work, while picking up the slack in the weaker zones to reduce the negative work, smoothening out the rotation to a perfect spin. In a sport where a second can be the difference between the top step of the podium and no podium at all; this type of advantage can be substantial.

Through Rotor's Optimum Chainring Position (OCP) you have approximately 5 degrees of adjustment meaning you can micro adjust the position of your Q Rings to suit your style by simply making corrections toward both comfort and efficiency. Machined from 100% CNC T6 7075 Aluminum, the QX1 model features the ever so popular alternating thick/thin, single-speed tooth profile that ingeniously retains the chain to prevent it from jumping off even when the trail is at its roughest, and without the use of a clunky chain guide. You'll also be glad to know that installation does not require you to disassemble the crank from the bike, making it easier to own multiple rings with different tooth counts for different rides.

Whether you're a dedicated cross country racer or a versatile enduro specialist, mounting a Rotor QX1 ring to your steed is a sure step toward increased endurance, explosive sprints and graceful climbing.
