UNITE COMPONENTS chainring oval Direct Mount | 1-speed narrow-wide for Shimano M9100 | M8100 | M7100 crank BOOST | Firehouse Red
The relatively young British brand Unite is committed to producing 99% of its simple, high-quality aluminum components at its home base on the Welsh coast. Thanks to the use of top-quality CNC milling machines and a wide range of anodized colors, Unite products have enjoyed steadily growing popularity since the company was founded at the end of 2016 by former pro rider Andrew Cooper.
Aluminum 7075 T6, one of the hardest aluminum alloys on the market, was chosen for the production of the Grip Ring chainrings. In combination with the high-quality coatings, this results in an extremely durable chainring that is less susceptible to wear. The extra-wide design of the teeth, which are alternately thick and thin (narrow-wide), also ensures lower wear and the best chain guidance. Special cut-outs in the tooth profile prevent the chain from separating uncleanly from the chainring with increasing wear. There is also sufficient space below the narrower teeth for the chainring to clean itself in muddy conditions. The Shimano version is compatible with Shimano 12-speed Hyperglide chains as well as 11- and 12-speed chains from other manufacturers. The oval shape smoothes the power peaks in the pedaling cycle and thus also ensures more even power transmission and more grip on steep climbs. The color design of the chainring is special, with Unite Components offering 10 different Cerakote colors - which are unique in this way.
Cerakote coating
Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating that is particularly wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant and generates a very elegant matt finish on the surface. This makes your bike a real eye-catcher.
