The ROTOR Qarbon Q-Ring 53A (110x4 BCD) is a high-performance oval outer chainring designed specifically for Shimano 4-bolt road cranksets. It combines CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminum with a bonded 3K carbon fiber reinforcement to deliver reduced weight and 20% greater lateral stiffness compared to standard alloy rings. The 12.5% ovality helps optimize pedaling efficiency by minimizing dead spots and improving power transfer throughout the pedal stroke.
