Rotor AERO Q-Rings : 130 BCD : 54/42t

Brand:Rotor

Code:CR-Q130-54A42

Professionally, athletes who have chosen to ride Rotor Q-Rings have put to rest any doubts about their performance by winning two grand tours, more than 25 Ironman races and over 20 UCI elite Road, MTB and CX world champion titles.

Why Q-Rings?

Q-Rings boost your performance by varying drivetrain resistance during pedalling in line with your legs natural strengths and weakness. They make better use of the strongest muscle groups (increasing positive work) and compensate for the weaker zones in the pedalling stroke (reducing negative work).

The muscles recruited during pedalling, their relative strength during pedalling and the torque produced as a crankset rotates while using round chainrings results in a constant level of resistance that interferes with optimal pedalling dynamics.

A Q-Ring gives a silky-smooth “perfect spin” by smoothing out torque variations and making better use of your strongest muscles. Far from feeling unusual, a Q-Ring feels much rounder than a round ring. A spinscan analysis visualizes a cyclists power delivery, with a bar graph indicating the variation from maximum to minimum output and a polar graph showing the rotating shape of the power profile. By comparing the left hand Round chainring spinscan and the right hand Q-Ring spinscan below, one can see that Q-Ring graphs are clearly smoother (less variation in torque in the bar graph) and fuller (less of a peanut shape at the weakest point).

Peer-reviewed scientific research has shown that Q-Rings offer a clear increase in performance compared to round chainrings. Elite level cyclists saw a 1,6 sec advantage in a 1KM TT study, generating 27W more power. For comparison, 60mm aero wheels often claim 1,5-1,8 sec/km and 16W savings.

What does this mean when you’re riding? You will discover increased endurance, realize explosive sprints and see a new-found tenacity in climbs. You will find that you can stick with the hardcore group that usually drops you. You will become an improved version of yourself, ready to set new PR’s and discover a new depth of performance. Triathletes will notice reduced strain in the bike split and better run split performance.
