Wolf Tooth 38t Black Chainring | SRAM Direct Mount 3-Bolt, 6mm Offset Drop-Stop B Flattop Compatible

Upgrading your SRAM crankset just got smarter with these high-performance direct mount chainrings engineered for riders seeking unmatched durability and precision on rugged trails or demanding commutes. Designed specifically for SRAM’s 3-bolt interface, these premium-grade 7075-T6 aluminum chainrings feature Wolf Tooth’s innovative Drop-Stop asymmetrical tooth profile—a game-changing design that slashes wear rates while dramatically improving mud clearance and chain retention in extreme conditions. Whether you’re tackling muddy singletracks or technical descents, this technology keeps your drivetrain locked in and spinning smoothly even when debris strikes.

Perfect for modern single-ring setups, these rings are compatible with SRAM’s 1×9 through 1×12 drivetrains (excluding Shimano 12-speed chains—see our Shimano-specific models for those systems). For riders still using 9-speed setups, pairing with a 10-speed chain ensures tighter retention without sacrificing performance. Built to outlast standard designs, the aerospace-grade aluminum construction balances featherweight strength with resistance to deformation under high torque loads.

While designed for SRAM’s 3-bolt cranks (not compatible with their older 8-bolt systems), these rings shine brightest when paired with a clutch-style rear derailleur like SRAM’s XO1 or GX Eagle to maximize stability on steep descents or rough terrain. Unlike symmetrical teeth found on generic rings, the Drop-Stop profile reduces lateral chain movement by up to 40%, making them ideal for aggressive riders who demand reliability during high-speed corners or repetitive power bursts.

Why Choose These Over Competitors?
| Feature | Standard Chainrings | Wolf Tooth Drop-Stop |
|———————–|————————–|——————————|
| Mud/Snow Performance | Poor debris clearance | Optimized mud shedding |
| Chain Retention | Moderate | Industry-leading grip |
| Wear Resistance | High replacement rates | Extended service life |
