Pass Quest 1x Chainring

Pass Quest 1x Chainring

Creato: 26 settembre 2026

Il recensore menziona la corona Pass Quest 1x come parte di una configurazione per hill climb, in particolare una corona direct mount a 34 denti con un offset di 3 mm che si abbina a una guarnitura in carbonio Riot/Lexon. Osserva che è perfetta per le gare di hill climb ma non fornisce dati indipendenti sul peso o sulle prestazioni della sola corona.

Riepilogo IA

Pros

  • Perfetta per le gare di hill climb grazie alla dimensione a 34 denti e all'offset di 3 mm
  • Si abbina bene all'interfaccia cinch della guarnitura in carbonio Riot/Lexon
