Description
The Pilo C97 38T Narrow Wide Chainring is a precision CNC-machined component built for riders who demand quiet, reliable drivetrain performance. Milled from Constellium 7075 T7351 aircraft-grade aluminium in Switzerland and finished with hard black anodizing, this 104BCD chainring is engineered to strict DIN8196 (ISO) tooth geometry standards — making it a dependable upgrade for gravel, MTB, and adventure cyclists across India.
Our Take
India's varied riding terrain — from the loose gravel of Coorg's forest paths to the long, punishing climbs above Lonavala and the dusty back roads around Pune — demands a chainring that keeps the chain locked on without fuss. At 70 grams, the Pilo C97 is impressively light while the narrow-wide tooth profile does a superb job of chain retention on rough surfaces. The hard anodized finish also shrugs off the grime and moisture that comes with riding through monsoon conditions. For the price, this is exceptional precision engineering.
Sizing for Indian Riders
This chainring is available in 38 teeth and fits any 104BCD crankset — a standard found across a wide range of MTB and gravel cranks popular in India. The 0mm offset means chainline is governed by your crankset, so verify your crank's chainline before ordering. 38T is a versatile choice for most Indian mixed-terrain riding, offering a comfortable gear range for both Ooty climbs and flatter Delhi or Hyderabad routes.
Compatibility Notes
Compatible with 104BCD cranksets. Works with 10, 11, and 12-speed chains from Shimano (including Hyperglide+ X12), SRAM, and KMC. Outer diameter is 161mm with 0mm offset. The chainring is also e-bike proven, making it suitable for riders running assisted drivetrains. Chainline is set by the crankset, not the ring itself. ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing ensures consistent quality.
Pairs Well With
Complete your drivetrain upgrade by pairing this chainring with a quality 12-speed chain, a matching 104BCD crankset, a wide-range cassette suited to Indian climbing gradients, and a reliable rear derailleur. A chain guide can add extra security on particularly rough off-road descents.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pilo C97 38T Narrow Wide Chainring best used for?
This chainring is best suited to MTB, gravel, and adventure cycling where chain retention on rough terrain is critical. The narrow-wide tooth profile grips the chain securely on loose gravel, forest trails, and broken road surfaces — conditions common on routes around Coorg, the Western Ghats, and the Himalayan foothills. It is also e-bike proven, making it a solid choice for assisted builds.
How does Pilo chainring sizing work — is 38T right for me?
38T is a versatile single-ring choice for most Indian mixed-terrain cyclists. It works well paired with a wide-range cassette for steep climbs around Ooty, Lonavala, or Leh, while still being efficient on flatter roads in cities like Delhi or Hyderabad. If you primarily ride flat terrain at high speed, consider a larger tooth count; for extremely technical climbing, a smaller ring may suit better.
Will the Pilo C97 chainring hold up in Indian monsoon conditions and 35°C+ heat?
Yes. The hard black anodized finish on the Pilo C97 provides meaningful protection against moisture, road grime, and the humidity that comes with Indian monsoon riding. The 7075 T7351 aluminium alloy is significantly more durable than standard aluminium, and the ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing process ensures consistent material quality that stands up to heat, rain, and rough road surfaces across Indian conditions.
How does the Pilo C97 compare to a standard stamped aluminium chainring?
Unlike mass-produced stamped chainrings, the Pilo C97 is precision CNC-machined from premium aircraft-grade aluminium, which preserves the metal's grain structure for greater strength and longevity. The DIN8196 ISO tooth geometry is more precisely engineered, resulting in quieter operation and better chain engagement. While it costs more upfront, the extended service life and improved shifting performance offer clear value for regular riders.
Is the Pilo C97 38T chainring worth Rs. 6,920 in India, and does it carry a warranty?
For riders upgrading from a stock chainring, the Pilo C97 delivers a noticeable improvement in chain retention and drivetrain quietness — qualities that matter on India's varied road and trail surfaces. At 70 grams, it is also a genuine weight saving. Pilo's ISO 9001:2015 certification reflects consistent manufacturing quality. For specific warranty terms, please contact Cobbled Climbs directly. Free delivery applies on orders above Rs. 2,500.
