All eyes were firmly focused on the new KORE Stronghold chainrings, because – as the name suggests – their patented tooth design has been designed keep the chain so well fixed to this aluminium 7075 T6 chainring that a chainguide is claimed to be superfluous.
The KORE Stronghold chainrings are currently available in two models, with one compatible with SRAM Direct Mount (26 – 38 teeth) and 104 mm bcd. Shimano XT and XTR compatible chainrings are due to be launched soon.
