$22.60
Description
The SRAM X-Sync Direct Mount Chainring is engineered to deliver unmatched chain stability for riders relying on 1×11-speed drivetrains in demanding conditions. Whether you’re tackling steep climbs or rugged descents, this precision-designed component ensures your chain stays locked in place thanks to its innovative tooth geometry and lightweight construction.
Crafted from durable aluminum, the chainring features tall teeth with alternating profiles that create a secure grip on the chain while shedding mud efficiently—critical for maintaining performance in off-road adventures or wet terrain. Unlike traditional spider-based setups, its direct mount design reduces weight without sacrificing strength, making it ideal for cross-country trails or all-mountain riding where every gram counts. With a 28-tooth count and round profile, this ring strikes an optimal balance between cadence efficiency and torque transfer, perfect for riders seeking reliable power delivery across varied terrains.
Boost hub compatibility (141/148mm) ensures seamless integration with modern bike frames, while the black finish offers a sleek aesthetic that complements any build. The 3mm offset further enhances chainline alignment, improving shifting precision and reducing friction for smoother transitions between gears.
