• 8-Bolt Direct Mount Interface: Ultra-rigid direct mounting to the crankarm that reduces overall crankset weight

• 6.5 mm Offset: Ideal chainline engineered specifically for Road, Gravel, and All-Road single-chainring setups

• E1 Two-Tone Design (Black/Silver): High-precision CNC-machined finish that perfectly complements the aesthetics of latest-generation SRAM Red and Force AXS groupsets

• Flattop Chain Compatible: Engineered to work in seamless harmony with SRAM Flattop Road/Gravel chains

📖 DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The SRAM Road Red/Force X-Sync E1 chainring is the premier component for cyclists seeking maximum performance from a 1x single-ring setup on road, endurance, or gravel bikes.

X-Sync Tooth Profile & Chain Retention

SRAM's proprietary X-Sync tooth design features square tall tooth edges that engage the chain earlier than traditional teeth. The alternating wide-narrow tooth pattern matches the inner and outer links of the chain, ensuring the chain remains rock-solid in place even when tackling rough off-road sections at high speeds.

Integrated Direct Mount Construction

Utilizing the SRAM 8-bolt direct mount system, the chainring attaches directly to the crankarm interface, discarding traditional chainring bolts. This structure increases torsional stiffness during out-of-the-saddle sprints and steep climbs, delivering immediate power transfer and noticeable weight savings.
