The Hope R22 Bosch Gen 4 55mm Wide E-Bike Spiderless Retainer Chainring mounts directly to a Bosch Gen 4 motor and sets a wider 55mm chainline, replacing the full spider assembly for a lighter, cleaner set-up. The extra power an e-bike motor puts through the drivetrain is the ultimate test of a chainring, so Hope designed their direct mount e-bike rings specifically to withstand it, machining each one in a single piece from billet 7075-T6 aluminium and hard anodising it for a long service life.
R22 Tooth Profile
An asymmetric narrow/wide tooth profile works with all the major drivetrains from 9 to 12-speed, SRAM T-Type and Shimano HG+ included. It holds the chain without a chain device, sheds mud, copes with the extreme chain angles of a modern 1x drivetrain and tolerates more chain wear before shifting suffers.
Features
- Direct mounts to Bosch Gen 4 motors, with a 55mm wide chainline, replacing the full spider assembly
- Designed to withstand the demands of e-bike use
- Asymmetric tooth profile engineered for cross compatibility with different drivetrain systems
- Narrow/wide teeth retain the chain without the need for a chain device
- Improved mud shedding and chain retention
- Better performance with extreme chain angles on modern 1x drivetrains
- Tooth profile allows for more chain wear before function is compromised, extending service life
- Spiderless design with a new leg shape for improved strength and stiffness
- CNC machined in one piece from billet 7075-T6 aluminium, then hard anodised
Specification
- Mount: Bosch Gen 4 Direct Mount
- Compatible Motors: Bosch Performance Line CX (Gen 4, 2020 onwards)
- Chainline: 55mm (Wide)
- Speed: 9, 10, 11 and 12-Speed, including SRAM T-Type and Shimano HG+
