Race Face Chainring
Best durable upgrade for mountain bikers seeking reliable chain retention.
This is the ultimate set-it-and-forget-it upgrade for simplifying your drivetrain. By ditching the front derailleur, you gain a quieter, more reliable ride that stays locked in on the roughest descents. You sacrifice the gear range of a 2x system, but the trade-off for pure, chain-dropping security is well worth it.
