Ovals helped me with my osteoarthritis in both knees

" The oval rings continue to impress me and have made a genuine difference to my riding particularly as suffer from osteoarthritis in both knees. There does not seem to be as much stress on my knees and they don't ache when I have completed my rides. I am super impressed!"

Just a few hours and I’m used to them

" I had my AB chainring installed last week and after few hours of pedaling, boom, it hit me. This chainring made a big difference. My knees didn’t hurt, I felt faster on flats and uphill. "

Smooth ride and easy on the knees

" I’ll never go back to round. Super smooth, eased my knee pain, and has helped my climbs on technical ascents ten fold."

Better power delivery

" Initially, reluctant. However, after riding my 29er I was very impressed with the power distribution and no knee pain. AB undoubtable got it nailed. You won't even know your are riding an OVAL after 15 minutes time."

Great looks and even better climbing performance

" Super pleased with the overall look and performance of the chainring. I can 100% say that it does improve my pedaling while climbing and getting through rough uphill stuff. Each pedal stroke is now more fluid and cadence is better on those longer climbs."

How to mount RaceFace Cinch Oval chainring:

The chainring has a mark on the backside that you need to line up with the center of the crank arm to achieve the main/recommended position. Once this is done use BB key to lock the lockring. If you wish to try more aggressive setup, rotate the chainring from main position clockwise by one notch on the splines. This will rotate oval by further 22deg. We do Not recommend second position for beginners. Before you start experimenting with the clocking of the ring, make sure you ridden minimum 5 months in the main position first.


Optimum Chainring Adjustment (OCA):

Our main/recommended clocking position is a fantastic setup for everyone. However some more seasoned riders may like a bit more aggressive clocking position. RaceFace oval chainring allows you to change clocking position by 22deg both ways from initial setup. This is the only chainring in our line offering this adjustability.


Oval (elliptical) chainring does not compromise the work of clutch mechanism in rear derailleur(video at the bottom). It also does not require chain tensioner when using in Singlespeed application. It is the most advanced oval chainring currently on the market.

The most advanced, Patent Pending narrow/wide tooth profile on the Market guarantee minimum 12 months of excellent chain retention capabilities! We mean it. Always use a new chain with a new chainring.


Chain compatibility

Not compatible with Shimano HG+ chain

Chainguide needed?

No. But if you want one then chain guide should have 2 teeth more capacity than nominal oval ring size.
