"Always pursuing higher performance, absoluteBLACK's latest gravel chainrings get redesigned and fully optimized for SRAM's narrower FlatTop chains...and high-end boutique options like the YBN-MK12 chain. Specifically, it's designed to help shed mud and crud better with today's narrower chains. The slim spacing needed to fit the cogs on 12- and 13-speed cassettes doesn't leave much room for grit between the chain's plates and chainring teeth. And tighter tolerances can mean more finicky performance in suboptimal conditions."
"So, absoluteBLACK has a newly-patented tooth profile they say is better at dealing with mud with narrow chains. From the looks of it, some of the benefit comes from simply making room for it thanks to a little notch on the wide teeth. The chainrings come in 8-bolt mounting options only, and only in their size-specific oval designs. Available in black and titanium finishes in 38/40/42/44 tooth sizes. MSRP $139.95 / €119.95 / £104.95, with tariffs included in US pricing."
