Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM Rival22 50T is an X-Glide outer chainring engineered for crisp, consistent 11-speed shifting on road double setups. The 110mm BCD, 5-bolt design fits standard compact and semi-compact cranks that use a 34/50 pairing and is laser-cut from machined aluminum for an excellent strength-to-weight balance and long service life. X-Glide tooth profiles and precision shifting ramps are optimized for the narrower 11-speed chain, delivering fast chain pickup under load and quiet, predictable transitions across the cassette. The ring ships finished in silver and carries SRAM model ID CR-XGLD-110-A1 (Mfr. part 11.6218.016.001).

Key Features

This outer chainring combines lightweight construction with SRAM's time-tested ramp and tooth geometry for performance-focused road riders. • 11-speed X-Glide tooth profile: engineered ramps and shift gates for positive front shifts. • Machined aluminum construction: durable yet light, resists deformation under load. • 110 BCD, 5-bolt pattern: compatibility with most compact/semi-compact road cranks using 34/50 pairs. • Precise fit for Rival22 systems: matches chainring spacing and shift behavior of SRAM 11-speed doubles. • Lightweight package: low rotating mass improves acceleration and responsiveness.

Fit & Compatibility

The Rival22 50T is an outer chainring designed for 34/50 double cranksets with a 110mm BCD and 5-bolt interface. It is made for SRAM 11-speed drivetrains and delivers best results when paired with an SRAM 11-speed chain and matching inner 34T X-Glide ring. It will physically fit any crank spider that uses a 110 BCD 5-bolt layout, but optimal shifting depends on pairing with SRAM 11-speed components or compatible rings with similar tooth spacing. Always follow your crank manufacturer's bolt torque recommendations (typically around 8–12 Nm) and check orientation marks—text or arrows on the ring indicate the outward-facing side.

Who This Is For

Road cyclists who want reliable, precise front shifting in a lightweight package will appreciate the Rival22 50T. It's ideal for club racers, training riders, and spirited weekend roadies running a 34/50 compact or semi-compact setup. If you need a drop-in replacement that restores crisp front shifts without changing crank hardware or chainline, this SRAM outer chainring offers OEM-grade performance and durability at a sensible price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this chainring fit my crankset?

The Rival22 50T requires a 110mm BCD 5-bolt crank spider and is intended for 34/50 double setups. It will physically mount on any 110 BCD 5-bolt crank, but best shifting is achieved when used with SRAM 11-speed components or matched X-Glide inner rings.

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

This ring is optimized for 11-speed chains and uses X-Glide tooth spacing and ramps designed for that chain width. You may get functional results with some 10-speed chains, but shifting will not be guaranteed. It is not compatible with SRAM 12-speed drivetrains.

What torque should I use for the chainring bolts?

Follow the crank manufacturer's specification; a common range for chainring bolts is 8–12 Nm. Use a calibrated torque wrench and clean threads. Avoid overtightening to prevent bolt or spider damage.

How long will the chainring last?

Lifespan depends on use, chain maintenance, and riding conditions. With regular chain cleaning and replacement before excessive wear, the machined aluminum ring provides long-term performance. Replace the ring if you notice skipping under load or visibly worn teeth.

Can I use this as a direct replacement for a worn 50T ring?

Yes—this SRAM Rival22 50T is a direct replacement for worn 50-tooth outer rings on compatible 110 BCD 5-bolt cranksets. Ensure you pair it with a compatible 34T inner ring and an 11-speed chain for optimal shifting.

Does orientation matter when installing the ring?

Yes. The chainring will have markings indicating the outward-facing side—install with the text or arrows facing out. The ramps and shift gates must align with the inner ring and chainline for proper performance.

Buying Guide

When choosing a replacement chainring, confirm three key details: BCD (bolt circle diameter), tooth count, and speed compatibility. This SRAM Rival22 is 110 BCD with a 5-bolt pattern and a 50-tooth outer profile—perfect for riders running 34/50 compact doubles on 11-speed systems. Material and tooth profiling matter: machined aluminum keeps weight down while X-Glide ramps and tooth shapes restore OEM-level front shifting. If you race or train frequently, replace worn rings in pairs (inner + outer) and fit a fresh chain to maximize longevity and ensure crisp shifts.
