An oval chainring isn’t perfectly round — it has an oval shape that changes the gear ratio during your pedal stroke. When you push in the strong phase, the effective gear is bigger. In the weak “dead spot,” it becomes smaller. This can make pedaling feel smoother and more efficient, especially on climbs. Pros: smoother power delivery, better traction. Cons: unusual feel at first, not everyone likes it.
