Whether you’re cyclocross in mud or grinding gravel, Praxis 1X rings are ready for action with the Wave™ tooth profile. Licensed and developed in conjunction with Mountain Racing Products, the Wave™ profile applies alternating lateral force to each chain link to actively retain the chain to the ring – going beyond narrow/wide implementations that rely solely on friction while allowing room for mud, debris, and grit to escape. The Wave™ design also wears more slowly than competing designs by spreading the load over larger surface areas.
