SRAM X-Sync Road Chainring System

Engineered for precision road cycling, this Direct Mount chainring pair combines 46-tooth aluminum construction with SRAM’s signature X-Sync tooth profile to deliver unmatched chain retention and power transfer. Ideal for competitive road racers and endurance cyclists seeking reliable performance on mixed terrains.

Key Innovations
– X-Sync Chain Engagement: Alternating wide/narrow tooth geometry grips chains securely at ±0.5mm lateral movement tolerance (vs. standard 1mm on competitors)
– X-Range Optimization: Compatible with 12-speed drivetrains (Shimano/SRAM Ultegra/Dura-Ace) for 20% expanded gear range over traditional double-chainring setups
– DuraPlate Finish: Military-grade laser etching resists micro-abrasion 3x longer than brushed aluminum finishes (tested at 500km/300mi intervals)
