Fazua Ride 60 Lockring Tool

Fazua's Ride 60 is the compact mid-drive system that sits on the lightweight e-road side of the market, designed to add pedal assist without the mass that full-power e-MTB systems carry. The Ride 60's chainring mounts to the motor's output spindle via a 16-notch chainring lockring whose engagement is specific to Fazua's spindle geometry. Unior publishes the 1724.FR60 for that Ride 60 lockring.

The 1724.FR60 is the lockring tool sized for that specific pattern. CNC-machined aluminum, red-anodized so it doesn't get lost in a shop's tool drawer, and sized to engage the Ride 60 chainring lockring's 16-notch outer profile.

How it's used

Seat the tool's notched cup over the Fazua chainring lockring's outer face so all 16 notches mesh fully. The 1/2" square drive at the tool body accepts a torque wrench for the install torque Fazua publishes for the chainring lockring (verify the value against current Fazua service documentation before applying torque; Fazua updates their published values periodically). Apply load slowly; the lockring loosens or tightens cleanly when the engagement is full.

Built in Zreče

Unior has been forging hand tools in Zreče since 1919, and sponsors professional road and mountain-bike race teams. The Ride 60 tool covers the lightweight e-road end of the e-bike market, a category that's been growing on the IBD channel as more riders adopt mid-power assist on road and gravel bikes alongside the full-power e-MTB segment. The precision-machined fit keeps both the tool and the lockring serviceable across the lifecycle of a Fazua-equipped bike.

Pro tip from our mechanics

Cross-threading the chainring lockring during reinstall is the most common service mistake the workshop sees. Start the lockring by hand, turn it down by hand until it's seated against the chainring face, and only then apply torque-wrench load. If the lockring resists hand-turning before it's seated, back it off and clean the threads; forcing a cross-threaded lockring with a wrench damages the spindle threads, which is a motor-replacement conversation Fazua doesn't make easy.

FAQ

Does the 1724.FR60 fit Fazua Ride 50 or other Fazua motors? No. Unior names Fazua Ride 60 drive units only. Ride 50 and earlier Fazua generations are not on the official list. Confirm the motor is a Ride 60 before putting load on the lockring.

What drive size does the 1724.FR60 take? A 1/2 inch square drive. Unior lists torque wrenches, ratchets, and fixed handles such as the Pro Socket Handle. Use the Newton-metre figure from current Fazua service documentation; Unior does not reprint that number.

How many notches is the Ride 60 chainring lockring? Sixteen. Unior's official marketing names that notch count for the Ride 60 lockring. Official size of the tool is 37 mm wide (B), 48 mm diameter (D), 98 g.

Will a Bosch or Shimano STEPS lockring tool work on a Ride 60? No. This article is Ride 60 only. Shimano STEPS chainring lockrings use 1724.SSL. Bosch Gen 2 lockrings use 1726.BL2. Do not put those tools on a Fazua Ride 60 lockring, and do not put this tool on those motors.
