Durable steel chainring from Bikepartner, compatible from 1-11 speed
Research and tests show that steel chainrings typically have a lifespan 3-4 times longer than regular aluminum chainrings, which are often the type found on electric bikes from the factory. This is because aluminum is a softer material, which wears out more quickly and easily. Additionally, they maintain a higher level of performance from installation until it's time for replacement. Steel chainrings are also generally more budget-friendly than their aluminum counterparts.
Since the entire drivetrain from chainrings to chain to cassette is interconnected, you'll also find that the cassette and chain have a longer lifespan with steel chainrings. A worn chainring will wear on both the cassette and chain, which then need to be replaced sooner for optimal pedaling.
A drawback of steel chainrings is the weight, as they typically weigh up to twice as much as a comparable aluminum chainring. Given the generally high weight of an electric bike compared to, for example, a road bike, it might be worth considering if you can live with a bit more weight in the chainrings in exchange for a longer lifespan of the entire drivetrain.
- Durable construction: Extends the lifespan of the drivetrain.
- Quiet operation: Reduces noise during riding.
- Economic and environmental benefits: Popular among cyclists for its durability.
BikePartner delivers a chainring that combines durability with efficiency, perfect for demanding bike rides.
