Erase pedal kickback and rewrite the rules of traction. Engineered for everything from downhill to aggressive trail riding, the Ochain N active spider is a mechanical cheat code that lets the chainring rotate backward, completely decoupling your pedals from the harsh forces of suspension feedback. By actively isolating the transmission from the suspension kinematics, it drastically reduces chain turbulence and silences the bike. The result is a deeply planted ride that unlocks massive stability during heavy braking, aggressive cornering, and high-speed rock gardens.
Tailor your suspension feel from the inside out. Carrying the legacy of the original active spider, the Ochain N features an internally adjustable system that comes optimized at 9°, but allows you to easily swap to 6° or 12° of float to perfectly match the track conditions and your specific bike setup. Because this isolation happens directly at the crankset, these precise degrees are never distorted or multiplied by the wide gear ratios of your cassette. You get 100% consistent, predictable suspension performance whether you're grinding a steep liaison or sprinting through an enduro stage.
Crafted for unrelenting abuse, this latest generation of the Ochain N is the most bombproof iteration yet. Boasting re-engineered impact resistance and heavily fortified sealing to reject grit and moisture, it guarantees season-long durability and factory-fresh performance in the most hostile riding environments
What's the difference between the R and the N?
Both devices have adjustable degrees of freedom. On the R it is external and can be adjusted between 0, 4, 6, 9 and 12 degrees. 0 degrees acts as a normal chainring would (meaning you can set it to have no effect on pedaling for long climbs) and 12 degrees gives you the most amount of kickback-deleting effect which gives the best downhill performance. On the N model, the degrees of freedom are also adjustable between 4, 6, 9 and 12, but this is done internally and requires the Ochain to be disassembled and rebuilt (about a 20 minute job in the workshop).
