The Wolf Tooth 96 BCD Chainring for Shimano XT and SLX is not only beautifully machined and lightweight but utilises a patented wide-narrow design that is perfectly suited to 1x setups dropped chains are a thing of the past. Unlock your dream drivetrain configuration and satisfy your inner tweaker.

Bred from ice-cold Minneapolis winters and explicitly designed to work perfectly on Shimano XT and SLX cranksets, this Wolf Tooth 96 BCD Chainring means more time riding and less time fumbling with dropped chains.

In line with Wolf Tooth’s guiding ethos of providing unrivalled design innovation, reliability and durability, this chainring employs a patented Drop-Stop ® wide-narrow tooth profile which not only keeps the chain securely in place on single chainring setups but dislodges mud, dirt and excess precipitation more efficiently. For additional security in extreme conditions, this chainring is best used with a clutch-type rear derailleur.

Synonymous with ultra-high-end custom builds and stalwart steeds alike, Wolf Tooth chainrings are machined entirely in-house at Wolf Tooth’s HQ in Minnesota, USA. The anodised finish and machined lettering that adorn every chainring bear the hallmark of master craftsmanship.

If you’re a discerning cyclist looking to invest in a premium-grade chainring that’ll outlast its competitors and function perfectly on a 1x set up, this is the only way to go.
