More flow, less shifting.
The other form you feel immediately. As if someone is giving a little push every time. After about five minutes of getting used to it, you simply ride much more smoothly on long stretches. If you have to pedal because of a small climb or loose sand, the difference is even more noticeable: at the point where you can apply the least force, when your pedal is almost at the top, your pedaling is actually lighter. And at the maximum moment you pedal the heaviest. This distributes and utilizes your power better. Result: easier starting and simply less gear shifting. Even on climbs. The latter takes some getting used to, almost against your logic. After the first 100km I also had the idea that my knees were less painful, but it is a bit early to be sure. Didn't expect the effect to be so noticeable, but: well worth the purchase!

highly recommended
A little apprehensive about the adjustment at the start but was completely gone after just 2 km. Meanwhile tested on some vicious hills: it goes effectively much smoother.

Simply good but more expensive than the alternatives
Original so everything fits together perfectly. I myself am used to the q- rings from Rotor and oval from Absolute Black which is my preference but this one also cycles very pleasantly. Quality is very good.
