Overview
A non-Boost mountain bike frame with a SRAM direct-mount crank is where this X-Sync 2 steel chainring belongs. It carries the chain retention and quiet running of the aluminum ring in a heavier steel body.
Steel adds weight but is described as more durable than the aluminum version, with the same mud shedding and low friction. The listing never states the number of teeth, so check the part number.
Who it's for
Mountain bikers on non-Boost frames running Eagle or earlier eleven-speed drivetrains suit this ring. Weight-focused riders should look at the aluminum version.
Pros and cons
- Steel for durability
- Chain retention and mud shedding
- Works with two speed counts
- Direct mount to SRAM cranks
- Tooth count not listed
- Heavier than the aluminum version
- Specs table contains chain-like data
Performance notes
Tooth profile governs chain retention and quiet running, while steel resists wear longer than aluminum with added mass as the downside. The offset sets the chain line, so it must match the frame.
