Ochain Components: A Whole New Range 3

At the heart of our doing: what drives us?

Enriching the riding experience with the - finally! - renowned chainless feeling is our core will at Ochain components. Our passion for mountain biking and our engineering know-how are put in service of riders with commitment day after day, year after year. We are collaborating with top riders and worldwide teams, nourishing our curiosity, our enthusiasm and our ambition as well. Such a broad community of riders inspired us to develop innovative products, allowing even more flow to the riding experience. A juicy revolution is happening among paddocks and tracks and we wish more significant and enjoyable rides to athletes and amateurs, no matter their skillfulness.

 

Orienting into the New Ochain Range

Today, we proudly unveil the brand new Ochain range with its fresh models, ingenious solutions and coherent naming. All rooted in our vision and values. Let’s explore it!

Ochain/N is our North. Our first active spider for muscular MTB was the bright reference point for rethinking this model. Same old features, brand new technologies.

Ochain/S is our South. Our exploratory direction, an exotic product for e-bikes featuring exciting solutions such as the EASY external degree adjustment system. It is so unique that it just could get along with a dedicated Ochain pedal crank... stay tuned.

Ochain/E is our East. Made for E-bikes, now available also for Fazua and Polini motors. In this new edition it allows riders to go beyond the 9° option with a fully internal adjustable setup from 4 to 12 degrees.

Ochain/R is our West! We wanted to celebrate his outlandish ancestor’s wide success by not changing his name. It has been totally redefined as well and EASY system is also embedded, to close the circle.

Our new Ochain range is the answer to the evolving needs and wishes of our valued customers and supporters.

DETAILS

Introducing the EASY System

Unlock unparalleled adjustability with our patented EASY (Easy Adjustable SYstem). Travel options include 12°, 9°, 6°, 4° and 0°. In this way riders can tailor their riding experience to suit their preferences and circumstances without needed any tool. We also added the locked position feature to guarantee a "zero delay engagement," ensuring instantaneous response when it may matter most.

Reliability Redefined

With increased tightening torque reliability and redesigned coupling featuring new fixing screws, every component stays securely in place even during the most demanding rides. A new sealing system and new low friction material pads has also been addressed, in order to allow minimum maintenance and best performances.

Enhanced Strength and Stiffness
We know that Ochain works in a complicated place, subject to strong stress and possible impacts. Thanks to the complete redesign process we produced more strong and stiff components, every single parts was redesigned thanks to five years of experience.

"The new Ochain is consequently improved in many spots! More reliability through improvements on a few spots, so it’s less maintaining and more riding time. To be able to change the setting on the fly without tools is perfect to finetune my racebike individually per stage." - Christian Textor, YT MOB
