The Hope R22 Brose E-Bike Spiderless Retainer Chainring mounts directly to the Brose motors of Specialized's Turbo Levo range, 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 Brose motors, as used across the Specialized Turbo Levo range, 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
