High power e-bike motors tend to wear out the drivetrain in a very short time. The accelerated wear starts from the chainring, and this is why the brand said it developed ‘Super
Steel’ chainring that can potentially save the user two to three expensive cassette replacements, thanks to its durability. What
Absoluteblack said it means by ‘Super Steel’
is premium steel that has been CNC milled, not stamped, then heat-treated and put through multiple highly specialized nitriding and carburizing surface treatments to achieve micro hardness of 1300HV. All this results in a chainring that is over four times harder than a standard, stamped steel OEM chainring.
Absoluteblack said its
e-bike chainrings are not only more durable but in combination with its range of spiders, they are also lighter than OEM equivalents. The e-bike-specific Super Steel chainring is compatible with 12spd Shimano HG+ chains as well as 11/12spd regular chains. RRP: Chainring €189.95, spider from €119.95 to €139.95, distributed by Velobrands
