Leonardi Gecko Gravel GXP Direct Mount Ring

This chainring uses a 3-bolt direct mount interface specifically designed for SRAM GXP crank systems. Please confirm your crankset uses this standard before purchasing, as it will not fit standard spider-based or other proprietary mounting systems.

The teeth are machined with a specific shape that holds the chain links more securely than a standard ring. This design significantly reduces the risk of your chain bouncing off when riding over washboard gravel or technical, bumpy terrain.

While this ring is optimized for gravel setups, compatibility depends on your specific chain and drivetrain system. It is best suited for 1x setups, but you should verify that your chain width is compatible with the tooth profile to ensure smooth shifting and minimal wear.

Direct mount rings eliminate the need for a separate spider, which reduces the overall weight of your drivetrain and simplifies maintenance. It creates a cleaner, more streamlined interface that is both lighter and easier to service.

A 40t ring is a versatile choice for gravel, offering a good balance between climbing ability and top-end speed on flat sections. If you find yourself frequently riding very steep terrain or racing on fast, flat roads, you may want to consider if this gear ratio aligns with your typical cadence and terrain.
