Absolute Black Chainring MTB Oval 96BCD Gold 32T

Absolute Black Oval MTB Chainring 96BCD – Gold (32T)

The Absolute Black Oval 96BCD 32T Chainring is a premium upgrade for Shimano 4-bolt MTB cranksets, designed to improve pedalling efficiency and traction on climbs. Precision CNC-machined from high-grade 7075 aluminium, it combines lightweight performance with excellent durability for XC and trail riding.

Its oval (elliptical) shape is engineered to smooth out your pedal stroke—delivering more power during the strongest phase of your rotation while reducing strain on your knees. Paired with a narrow-wide tooth profile, it ensures excellent chain retention, even on rough terrain.

Finished in a striking gold anodised coating, it adds both performance and standout aesthetics to your bike.
