R649.00 – R689.00
The Rapidé OVL™ Ultralight Ring gives you better traction, especially with climbing, riding in sand or loose rock, by smoothing out the torque you deliver to the rear tire.
Where your pedal stroke is weakest you have the equivalent of 2 teeth less on the chainring, and where you have the most power you have 2 more teeth. The radius of the chainring is constantly changing. The torque needed to turn the cranks is constantly changing to better match your power output. The Rapidé OVL™ Ring maximizes the part of the pedal stroke where power is produced, and minimizes resistance where it isn’t, allowing you to get on top of a gear.
Made with super stiff and very light weight 7075-T6 alloy for flex-free power transfer and long life. The Rapidé OVL™ Ultralight Ring is a perfect Single Speed chainring as well. It features our enhanced narrow-wide tooth profile for incredible chain security plus an elliptical shape to maximize traction, power and efficiency.
Note: Not compatible with half-link chains.
* Mountain biking rattles bolts loose – use a quality thread lock compound to prevent this. Pay particular attention to things like chain ring bolts – a lost chainring bolt can lead to chainring failure.
* We recommend torquing chainring bolts to 6-8nm and periodic inspection.

I bought this to replace a worn out big-brand oval chain ring I have.
The quality is excellent as with all other Rapide products I have used.
The first ride impressed me most as in the past there has always been some noise and rubbing initially as the chain ring “wears in”.
This one was dead quiet and smooth from the get-go.
The threaded holes and built in spacers make installation such a pleasure. (I got the 32t version)
Highly recommended.
Julian (verified owner) –
The Oval pedal stroke feels amazing!
The 32T product is well made, easy to install and fantastically priced.
Scott (verified owner) –
It’s true……the oval will help!!
Awesome piece of kit. Run the 32T with the Rapide Sunrace 11-42 cassette, and I’ve never run out of gears. Use that combo for the likes of a 50km with 900m of climbing, very comfortably.
I’m an average rider who would do the above distance and ascent in about 2hrs30mins.
For a 50km, with less than 900m of climbing I’ll use my 34T. Again, without running out of gears at any time.
Solid pieces of kit too.
Tiniest bit of settling down rubbing, but then again, what combinations don’t take a bit of time to settle.
Will I move from this combo/kit……………………unless I win the lotto…..NO WAY
Delivery felt like 20 minutes after I had hid submit, on my order……
Team Rapide, you guys ROCK!!!

I love my oval chaining. I have just purchased my 2nd 32T. Much less slipping on loose steep climbs and feels faster on flats . I tried out my round one again and took it off after one ride!!
