Wolf Tooth Gets Slippery with New Aero Chainrings for Shimano GRX
Minnesota’s Wolf Tooth Components has a stellar reputation for bringing high-quality bling and clever bike solutions to our bicycles. And now you can use that world-renowned quality to crush PRs and kick the wind’s ass with WTCs new line of Aero Chainrings that are launching this Spring.
The first chainrings to launch are 110 BCD Asymmetric, 4-bolt chainrings for the Shimano GRX cranks. These new aero chainrings are equipped with WTC’s Drop-Stop ST tooth profile made for Shimano’s Hyperglide+ chain that’s used on the 12-speed drivetrains.
You can run 1x cranks for the GRX 12-speed as well as 11-speed because Shimano didn’t change the crank arm spider when they released their 12-speed bits. They will come in 46, 48, 50, and 52t flavors, as well as a 46t oval.
WTC says that their primary design for BCD chainrings has been to have no material between the spider arms and the outer ring of teeth. But, this new aero design uses solid machined aluminum around the spider. And despite what you might think they are lighter than you’d expect.
And for all of you who would need/use an aero chainring… here are the claimed weights of the new rings by tooth count.
New Aero Chainring Weights:
46T round: 123g
48T round: 135g
50T round: 139g
52T round: 143g
46T oval: 119g
