Available in \u003cstrong\u003e34t and 36t\u003c\/strong\u003e, across \u003cstrong\u003eseven anodised colour options\u003c\/strong\u003e — Blue, Orange, Smoke, Black, Purple, Red, and Silver — and with fitment options for \u003cstrong\u003eBosch Gen 4, Bosch Gen 4 55mm Wide, Brose, and Shimano\u003c\/strong\u003e motor systems, this is one of the most versatile and colour-customisable e-bike chainring components on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe spiderless design eliminates the traditional spider interface entirely, resulting in a cleaner, lighter, and more direct chainring mounting solution. This reduces the number of potential failure points in the drivetrain and makes chainring swaps significantly more straightforward. Hope's R22 platform is engineered for the demands of e-bike use — where motor-assisted torque places considerably higher loads on the drivetrain than a standard pedal-powered setup — so durability and secure retention are built into the design from the ground up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade in the UK at Hope's Barnoldswick facility, these retainer rings carry the same quality assurance that Hope is renowned for across their entire component range. The anodised finish is not just cosmetic — it provides a hard-wearing surface that resists corrosion and wear in all conditions. Whether you're building a bespoke e-MTB or refreshing an existing drivetrain, the R22 Spiderless Retainer Ring lets you add a genuine splash of Hope colour to your setup.
