Product Details

Overview & Technology

Raceface's 3-Bolt Direct Mount chainring is engineered for modern single-ring mountain drivetrains. Machined from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum and finished in black anodizing, the ring combines extreme stiffness with low weight to keep your power transfer direct and efficient. This chainring uses a precision narrow-wide tooth profile to seat the chain securely on the sprocket, dramatically reducing drops on rough trails. The 4mm-thick plate construction resists flex under load — so sprints, climbs and technical sections all stay crisp and predictable.

Key Features & Benefits

Materials & strength: The ring is CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, a material commonly used in aerospace and high-performance cycling components. That alloy provides an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio and long-term durability while remaining light enough for trail use. Retention & ride stability: The narrow-wide tooth profiling gives positive chain engagement for 9/10/11/12-speed chains, minimizing chain drops without the need for heavy chain guides. The 3-bolt direct-mount BCD fits SRAM cranksets with a removable spider and is offered in a 3mm offset that helps dial in modern chainline requirements.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation

This Raceface direct mount chainring is compatible with SRAM cranksets that accept a removable spider and use the SRAM 3-bolt direct-mount interface. It supports 9 through 12-speed drivetrains and comes in 30T and 32T tooth counts with a 3mm offset option. Always verify your crank uses the removable spider 3-bolt direct mount standard before purchasing. Installation is straightforward: align the ring with the crank's mounting interface, torque hardware to the crankmaker's recommended values, and check chainline. Because this is a single-position direct-mount ring, standard chainring bolts/fasteners that came with your crank (or the crank manufacturer's recommended hardware) should be used.

Who It's For

This chainring is aimed at mountain riders who need a lightweight, stiff, and reliable single-ring setup — from trail riders and enduro racers who want confidence on rough descents, to all-mountain and aggressive XC riders who demand efficient pedaling and minimal chain-life anxiety. Riders upgrading from worn or flexing rings will instantly notice crisper power transfer. If you use a SRAM crank with a removable spider and run a 9–12 speed drivetrain, this Raceface ring is a practical, performance-focused upgrade that balances durability, retention and value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this chainring fit my SRAM crankset?

This ring fits SRAM cranksets that use a removable spider and the SRAM 3‑bolt direct‑mount interface. Check your crank's manual or look for the removable spider mounting pattern; if you're unsure, compare bolt pattern and mounting hardware or contact us with your crank model for confirmation.

Is the narrow‑wide profile safe for 12‑speed chains?

Yes. The narrow‑wide tooth profiling on this Raceface ring is designed to work across 9–12 speed chains, improving chain retention and reducing drops. For maximum security on extreme runs, pair with correct chainline and ensure your chain and cassette are in good condition.

What torque should I use when installing the ring?

Always follow the torque specification from your crank manufacturer. Typical values for direct‑mount interfaces commonly fall in the 8–12 Nm range, but using the crankmaker's exact figure ensures proper clamping without overstressing the interface.

Can I use this ring on an e‑MTB?

Functionally the ring will work on many e‑MTBs that use a compatible SRAM removable spider 3‑bolt interface, and the 7075‑T6 material takes well to the higher torque of e‑assist riding. However, check your e‑MTB manufacturer's recommendations for chainring materials and offsets, and verify the 3‑bolt mounting compatibility first.

How do I choose between 30T and 32T?

Choose based on your riding style and terrain: 30T offers lower gearing for steep climbs and technical singletrack, while 32T gives a higher top gear for faster flats and smoother fire roads. Consider your cassette range and preferred cadence to select the best tooth count for your rides.

Are replacement bolts or hardware included?

Hardware policies vary; this chainring is a direct‑mount part and typically uses the bolts or fasteners specified by your crank manufacturer. If your crank's original hardware is missing or incompatible, purchase the crankmaker's recommended direct‑mount bolts rather than generic fasteners.

Buying Guide

When buying a direct‑mount chainring, first confirm the mounting standard on your crank — this Raceface ring requires a SRAM 3‑bolt removable spider. Next, pick the tooth count that matches your terrain and cadence: smaller rings (30T) favor climbing and technical trails, while larger rings (32T) suit faster all‑mountain riding. Consider offset and chainline; this ring's 3mm offset helps align modern wide-range cassettes and boost platforms. Material and thickness matter: 7075‑T6 aluminum gives a strong, light platform, and the 4mm plate thickness reduces flex for direct power transfer. Finally, check speed compatibility (this ring supports 9–12 speed chains) and follow your crankmaker's installation torque recommendations for a safe, long-lasting fit.
