Overview
Not the aluminum version, this SRAM X-Sync 2 chainring is made of steel and set for Boost chainlines. It is known for chain retention, steady shifting and quiet running.
Durability is the aim here, and the description says wear life and mud shedding match the aluminum ring. The listing says it is heavier, and no bolts or crank are mentioned.
Who it's for
Mountain bikes with direct-mount SRAM cranks and Eagle or earlier eleven-speed drivetrains are the target. Weight-focused builds should choose aluminum.
Pros and cons
- Chain retention and mud shedding
- Works with Eagle and eleven-speed
- Heavier than aluminum
- No crank or hardware included
- Specs table mixes chain data
Performance notes
Tooth shape and steel resist wear while keeping the chain held on rough ground. The chainline offset must match the rear spacing of the frame.
