Hope RX V2 Direct Mount Chainring
The Hope RX V2 is designed to fit seamlessly onto the Hope RX Carbon or Evo cranksets using their proprietary spline system. By eliminating the traditional spider and bolts, Hope has created a ring that is not only lighter but significantly stiffer, ensuring every watt of power is transferred directly to the drivetrain.
The standout feature of the V2 is the asymmetrical tooth profile. Unlike standard narrow-wide rings, the V2 teeth are shaped to better guide the chain onto the ring even when cross-chaining at the extremes of a wide-range cassette. This makes it an ideal choice for 1x gravel setups where chain security is paramount on bumpy descents.
Evo Opinion:
The Hope RX V2 Chainring is the latest evolution of Hope’s dedicated road and gravel direct-mount rings. While the original RX ring was a benchmark for lightweight performance, the V2 introduces a more refined tooth profile derived from the R22 MTB series, offering even better chain retention and durability for the vibrations and mud found on modern gravel tracks.
Mud-Shedding Recesses: Features CNC-machined "clearing" areas at the base of the teeth to prevent mud build-up during winter cyclocross or gravel rides.
