Easton Direct Mount Chainring

No, this chainring is specifically engineered for SRAM Flattop 12-speed chains. Using it with other chain types may result in poor shifting performance and increased wear.

Yes, this chainring uses the standard Easton Cinch direct mount interface. It is designed to bolt directly onto any crankset that utilizes the Cinch mounting system.

The narrow/wide profile is designed to lock the chain securely in place. This prevents chain drop, which is especially critical when riding on rough gravel or cyclocross terrain where vibrations are frequent.

It is perfectly suitable for both. While the retention features make it excellent for gravel and cyclocross, the lightweight 7075-T6 aluminum construction and optimized tooth profile perform equally well for high-performance road riding.

This chainring features a 47mm chainline, which is standard for most modern road and gravel drivetrains using this mounting system.
