Earlier this year, Wolf Tooth announced aero chainrings for Shimano cranks and this week, the brand released its chainrings for use with SRAM gravel and road cranksets. Just like the Shimano rings, these SRAM rings were designed with performance in mind and feature a clean, integrated look that matches the profile of the crankarm or spider. New sizes include 46, 48, 50, and 52T depending on mount. They are compatible with most 12-speed chains and optimized for SRAM Eagle and Flattop chains, including Transmission. All Wolf Tooth chainrings are machined with 7075-T6 aluminum at Wolf Tooth in Minnesota, USA.
