Race Face Direct Mount Chainring
Best durable upgrade for mountain bikers seeking reliable chain retention.
This is the essential upgrade for modern drivetrains that demand a perfect chainline. By prioritizing a specialized tooth profile, it effectively silences your ride and locks the chain in place. You sacrifice universal compatibility for a seamless, high-performance fit that makes aggressive riding feel noticeably more secure.
