Reviews over the

Rotor Direct Mount Oval Sram

Product just works well Does what it is supposed to do

Pros & Cons

Rounder pedalling despite the oval shape. Increases leg rotation speed. Allows you to put in a few extra watts, but when there are none left...

Takes a little getting used to but then great pedaling

I recommend this oval chainring, which fits perfectly with my sram xx1 11v drivetrain. Very good price

Pros & Cons

No installation problems, except for a not very precise offset (I had to add a washer to the chain guide on my Scott so it wouldn't rub). More seriously, a lot of noise when pedalling with a new 12v X01 chain (well lubricated with 'rock n Roll' before fitting), with a sensation of resistance when pedalling. There's a problem with the machining or design of the longitudinal profile of the teeth. I'll try another rando, but if it doesn't improve, it'll be taken off the bike.

Pros & Cons

Makes you pedal differently ( feels different ) that takes some getting used to. But otherwise super.

Pros & Cons

The chainring comes in a nice packaging. Finish of the chainring is top notch, it is nicely anodised black with the logos in white. For me, it is a huge improvement over my standard 32t round chainring. On flat stretches there is a big increase in speed, I can also pedal more easily and at a constant pace. I don't have much experience with climbs yet, but I will find that out when I ride MTB Groesbeek today. But on my previous hardtail I had a Garbaruk oval and I did notice an improvement with climbs (UHR), so it will be the same with the Rotor. Thoroughly satisfied with my purchase and highly recommended!

Pros & Cons

Nice and solid material.

Pros & Cons

Very good oval leaf.

Pros & Cons

Quality plate, easy to install. I drove 5500 km with the previous one. Be careful about the offset when you buy it.

Pros & Cons

I ride it on a Trek Stache. This is a 29+ bike that naturally takes more effort to ride it nicely at pace (due to the large tyres). Went from a standard 30 blade to an Oval 34. What a huge difference. Indeed, it feels a bit strange for the first 2km, seems like it's pedalling on. But once you get going, it pedals much nicer. I notice the most difference when going up a hill/mountain. There is no longer a dead moment where you always have to pedal over. Now it's a constant flowing motion. It is also easier to ride at a higher pace. This is also because the blade has become bigger. Long hesitated to do it, that doubt was unnecessary. Super blade!!! Will definitely be on my other bike too :-)

Pros & Cons

Fitted the rotor Q-ring 36t which was simple. The first few rides you feel it well on your muscles that it rotates slightly differently from a round blade. I feel it now cycles more finely.

Pros & Cons

it does exactly what I bought it for, climbing guest me better now.
