Introducing the Ochain | R, the pinnacle of the Ochain range, meticulously designed for muscular bikes. This innovative product incorporates the sophisticated patented EASY system that empowers riders to fine-tune their riding experience by configuring the ideal "degree of freedom" right from its outer face from 0° up to 12°.
The Ochain | R represents the next evolution of active spiders, seamlessly enabling the chainring to rotate backward, effectively disengaging the transmission from the suspension. This groundbreaking feature not only enhances your overall riding experience but also elevates your bike's performance to unprecedented levels.

USER MANUAL
The thing does what it says on the tin and thats great, though there are some design shortcomings:
1. the timing of the spider has a positive offset at the engagement point. This should be a negative offset. It would allow compatibility with oval chainrings. All it would take is that the direct mount would be -12 degrees compared to the current product, everything else stays.
2. the rubber o ring under the selector is prone to get out of its groove (requires disassembly to fix), because the selector gets bent under the spring/elastomer load when used unless one is very careful to press the pedal on the bike when selecting very consistently. It would be enough to use a square cross-section o ring with more thickness to avoid this.
also, some of us would not mind to pay double for a forged carbon / aluminium composite version :)
Bought for my canyon spectral 2019:
+ rear seems to be glued to the ground now
+ reduce a lot the fatigue during long alpin enduro tour with very long descent
- import fees are excessive.
- UPS is sh#$*% for Switzerland
- a bolt was missing
Mounted Ochain R with titanium chainring nuts on Sram GX T Type inmy new custom bike and feel instantly the difference, especially downhill. Top quality product finished to perfection.
The product is good, I also bought the service kit, but there is no manual.... I have had several emails telling them and so far no response, I don't know how I am going to do it when I have to do the maintenance......
Love the product. Makes a huge difference in pedal feedback and suspension sensation.
