Beach Racing Oval 104BCD 1x Chainring

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This is the right ring for riders racing on sand. It holds up well, smooths power where traction is inconsistent, and keeps drivetrain performance predictable over long efforts."

Beach racing places unique demands on drivetrain components, and the Beach Racing Oval Chainrings 104BCD are engineered to meet those demands head-on. We rely on these rings in conditions where sand, salt, and constant resistance changes punish traditional setups. The oval shape helps maintain forward momentum by smoothing torque delivery when the surface alternates between firm and soft from one pedal stroke to the next.

The chainring features a fixed ovality and timing optimized for sustained efforts on sand, reducing peak load at the top of the stroke and extending usable power through the drive phase. CNC-machined from 7075 aluminum and finished with a durable anodized coating, it offers excellent resistance to abrasion and corrosion while maintaining stiffness under heavy load. This balance of strength and efficiency is critical in races where drivetrain drag and fatigue compound quickly.

Built around the common 104 BCD interface, the chainring integrates cleanly with compatible cranksets used in beach racing and endurance builds. Delivered with mounting bolts and designed for modern 1x setups, it’s best suited for riders focused on maintaining speed, conserving energy, and finishing strong in some of the most demanding riding environments on the calendar.
