Hope Spiderless Chainring Review: R22 Tooth Profile, Offset, and Fitment

What the Hope R22 Spiderless Chainring Is

Hope's spiderless chainring is a direct-mount ring designed for compatible Hope cranksets. It is a direct-mount narrow-wide chainring for Hope cranksets, available in standard and boost offsets, with Hope’s newer R22 tooth profile for modern 1x drivetrains.

R22 Tooth Profile and Modern Drivetrain Compatibility

The R22 tooth profile is the main update across Hope's mountain bike chainring lineup. The reason to care about R22 is the updated tooth profile and drivetrain compatibility across contemporary 1x systems.

Offset and Chainline: Standard vs Boost Options

Hope lists a 28T to 36T size range for the spiderless chainring. It has to match your crank, drivetrain, chainline, tooth count, and clearance needs before the color or weight saving matters.

Spiderless Rings vs Separate Spiders and E-Bike Variants

The R22 is not just a colored chainring. Do not assume a normal Hope crank spiderless ring fits an e-bike motor interface.

Specs and Verdict

The Hope R22 Spiderless Chainring is a strong option when the fitment is correct.
