Rotor spins out direct mount Q-Rings and new mountain cranks

Component maker Rotor is rolling out new direct mount chainrings as well as a pair of modular cranksets for trail and enduro riding.

Direct mount Q and QX chainrings

Rotor’s direct mount rings build on the success of the company’s often imitated ovalized chainrings.  The Spanish company will offer direct mount versions of its Q-Rings for SRAM as well as Race Face, and a new QX version that works with Rotor's new direct mount interface.

Not content to stop at creating aftermarket options, Rotor has developed its own direct mount standard, which brings a new level of adjustability to its oval rings by allowing the user to clock the chainring to maximize the position of the chainring relative to their pedal stroke.

Rotor’s splined interface bears a close resemblance to the direct mount standard Shimano uses for its brake rotors. This design allows the new QX chainrings to be adjusted incrementally to maximize power transfer.

According to Rotor, riders can use the company’s Torque 360 app to help fine-tune the chainring’s position, provided they are using a crank equipped with a power meter.
