Increasing ovality caused decreasing knee joint power, at lower cadences. This is potentially huge for people with osteoarthritic knees or knees that are prone to injury.

What do you need to know about Osymetric chainrings?

The Osymetric chainrings are very basic when you look at them. They don’t have the chain catching mechanisms on the inside that enables quick, smooth and reliable shifting like Shimano, Campy or SRAM. They’re basically a thin piece of alloy which have been laser cut in its unique shape.

How many products are there in Osymetric for the road?

There are 56 products. Osymetric for the road has been designed so that the radius of the chainring varies in proportion to the force produced by the leg from top dead center to bottom dead center.

Who is the inventor of the Osymetric ring?

Jean-Louis Talo, a mechanical engineer from Menton, France, produced a prototype Osymetric ring and has spent 22 years trying to convince the cycling world that it works. “You can alter the design so that you give the leg muscles work to do where they are at their strongest and less work to do where they are weak,” says Talo.
