What is Rotor Q ring?

What is Rotor Q ring?

ROTOR Q rings simulate a higher gear at the point of maximum force, i.e. the most productive part of the pedal stroke, and therefore leverage the power phase (Fig.1). In the pedal rotation’s dead spot (Fig.2), where we exert the least force, a simulated smaller gear enables us to more easily overcome this dead spot.

What is aq ring cycling?

The ‘Q-Ring’ is based on a simplified theme of the same company’s Rotor cranks that seek to minimise the inertia that happens after 20 degrees of crank rotation through what is commonly termed ‘the dead spot’.

Are Rotor cranks good?

The Rotor 2InPower DM Road system is certainly one to look at: it’s nicely made, the power numbers are credible and repeatable, and you get the option of oval or round rings on an easy-to-swap direct mount interface. The 2InPower cranks weigh in at 609g, and the rings (50/34 oval direct mount) were 189g.

What is the difference between QXL and QQ-rings?

Q-Rings are ROTOR’s flagship product, QXL rings were a natural progression from there. WHAT DO YOU RIDE?

What is a qldx ring?

QXL rings are Q-Rings with greater ovalization (16% vs. 10%) that were intended for existing Q-Ring users looking to capitalize on the performance benefits of oval rings.

How long does it take to adjust to Q-rings?

Triathlon and TT: Position 4 MTB: Position 3 Because Q-Rings use leg muscles differently than round chainrings, your muscles will need time to adapt to the new, more efficient way of pedalling. Adaptation is a gradual process covering four stages with each stage taking between one day and one week.

How long does it take to learn to ride with Q-rings?

Because Q-Rings use leg muscles differently than round chainrings, your muscles will need time to adapt to the new, more efficient way of pedalling. Adaptation is a gradual process covering four stages with each stage taking between one day and one week. Most riders will require at least 10 hours of pedalling time to make the full transition.
