SRAM X-Sync Chainring

This chainring is specifically engineered for 1x11 mountain bike drivetrains. It uses a SRAM 3-bolt direct-mount interface, so it will not fit cranksets that require a traditional spider or different mounting patterns.

The 6mm offset is designed specifically for GXP bottom brackets to ensure your chainline remains straight. If you are using a different bottom bracket standard, such as Boost spacing, this offset will likely cause shifting issues and should be avoided.

The X-Sync profile features alternating thick and thin teeth that lock into the inner and outer links of your chain. This design significantly improves chain retention, keeping the chain secure even when riding over rough, technical terrain without needing a chain guide.

No, this specific model is optimized for 11-speed systems. Using it with a 12-speed chain may result in poor shifting performance and increased wear due to the differences in chain width and tooth engagement.

The chainring is CNC-machined from aluminum and finished with a hard-anodized coating. This process creates a tough, wear-resistant surface that holds up well against the grit and debris typical of trail riding while keeping the overall weight low.
