Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM's Force22 50T X-Glide outer chainring brings proven 11-speed X-Glide shifting tech to your road double setup. Designed as the outer ring for 34/50 cranksets, this 50-tooth ring uses precision machining and X-Glide ramp geometry to control chain transfer during upshifts and downshifts for consistently quick, reliable shifts under load. The ring is made from lightweight anodized aluminum with a 110mm 5-bolt BCD pattern for direct replacement on compatible SRAM 11-speed crank arms. The black finish resists corrosion and blends seamlessly with modern road groupsets while keeping rotating mass low for snappy acceleration.

Key Features

What sets this chainring apart: • X-Glide ramp and tooth profiling tuned for 11-speed chains to deliver fast, reliable front shifts. • 110mm, 5-bolt BCD fits standard compact and mid-compact road doubles that use a 34/50 configuration. • Lightweight anodized aluminum construction balances durability and low weight for performance-focused riders. • Direct-fit outer position engineered to the Force22 spec for optimal chainline and shifting performance. These features combine to give smooth front shifting with minimal chain-drop and predictable engagement—especially important when racing or pushing hard on long climbs.

Fit & Compatibility

Fit details: 110mm BCD, 5 chainring bolts, outer chainring for 34/50 cranksets, 11-speed. This part (SRAM 11.6218.010.001 / CR-XGLD-110-A1) is a direct replacement for SRAM Force22 11-speed double cranksets that use a 110 BCD mounting standard. Compatibility notes: It is designed for 11-speed chains and X-Glide ramping—mixing an X-Glide outer ring with a non-X-Glide inner ring or a mismatched speed chain can reduce shift quality. Always check your crank's BCD and bolt pattern before ordering. If you run a different brand of crank with 110 BCD, verify clearance and chainline with your frame and front derailleur setup.

Who This Is For

This chainring is aimed at road riders who need a dependable, OEM‑spec replacement or upgrade for SRAM 11-speed double cranksets—club racers, weekend sportive riders, and mechanics maintaining a fleet of road bikes. It's an excellent choice when you want original-shift-feel performance without replacing the entire crankset. If you prioritize crisp front shifting under load and a lightweight, durable outer ring for 34/50 gearing, the SRAM Force22 50T X-Glide is a practical, high-performance option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my crankset?

This ring fits 110mm BCD, 5-bolt cranksets and is the outer ring for 34/50 SRAM 11-speed doubles. Confirm your crank uses 110 BCD and a 5-bolt pattern; if so, it's a direct replacement for compatible Force22 11-speed cranks.

Is this compatible with 10- or 12-speed chains?

The Force22 X-Glide ring is engineered for 11-speed chains. While a 10-speed chain may fit physically, shifting performance will be compromised. For 12-speed systems you should use parts specifically designed for 12-speed.

Do I need to replace both chainrings at the same time?

Not always—if the inner ring is still in good condition and matches SRAM's X-Glide spec, you can replace just the outer ring. However, for best shifting performance and even wear, replacing both rings together is recommended when one is significantly worn.

What torque should I use for the chainring bolts?

Follow the crank manufacturer's torque specs for chainring bolts—typically around 8–12 Nm for many road cranks. Use a calibrated torque wrench and thread-locking compound if recommended by the crank maker.

How long will this chainring last?

Lifespan depends on riding conditions, chain maintenance, and mileage. With regular chain cleaning, lubrication, and timely chain replacement, an aluminum outer ring like this can provide many thousands of kilometers of reliable service before replacement is needed.

Can I mix X-Glide and non-X-Glide rings?

Mixing X-Glide with non-X-Glide rings may work physically but can reduce the shift quality X-Glide is designed to deliver. For best results, use matching X-Glide inner and outer rings designed for 11-speed systems.

Buying Guide

When choosing a replacement road chainring, first confirm BCD, bolt count, and the intended tooth pairing (e.g., 34/50). For SRAM Force22 systems, select X-Glide designed rings matched to 11-speed chains to preserve the engineered ramp and tooth profiles that deliver precise front shifting. Consider material and weight—aluminum rings offer a strong balance of low weight and durability for most riders. If you're unsure, match manufacturer part numbers or consult your mechanic to verify crank compatibility and recommended torque settings for chainring bolts.
