Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM X‑Sync 30T brings the proven narrow‑wide tooth profile to a tough, serviceable steel ring built for mountain use. The X‑Sync pattern locks the chain to the ring teeth for superior retention and quieter pedaling on rough singletrack, while the steel construction prioritizes longevity and impact resistance over lightweight savings. The ring is manufactured to 94mm BCD with a 4‑bolt pattern and a 3.5mm plate thickness to match SRAM's CR‑XSNC‑94‑A1 spec. Finished in a corrosion‑resistant black coating, it’s optimized for 11‑speed chains and 1x drivetrain setups where reliable engagement and low maintenance matter more than shaving grams.

Key Features & Construction

Materials and machining: This chainring is formed from heat‑treated steel for impact resistance and long life. Precision machining creates the narrow‑wide tooth geometry and consistent tooth spacing for smooth, reliable shifting and retention with 11‑speed chains. Design details: The 30‑tooth count is ideal for trail and technical climbing balance. The 94mm 4‑bolt BCD pattern ensures broad compatibility with cranks that accept removable 4‑bolt rings. At a 3.5mm thickness the ring resists flex and stands up to rock strikes and repeated use.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation

This ring is made for 4‑bolt cranks with a 94mm BCD. It’s a direct replacement for SRAM 94 BCD single ring setups and will fit many aftermarket and OEM cranks that use the same bolt circle diameter. It’s specified for 11‑speed drivetrains and is engineered to work best with SRAM chain profiles and X‑Sync chains. Installation notes: use the correct 4‑bolt chainring bolts, torque bolts to manufacturer recommendations (typically ~8–12 Nm), and check chainline and chain wrap on installation. If you run a bash guard or spider with spacers, confirm clearance against the 3.5mm steel plate thickness before final assembly.

Who This Chainring Is For

This SRAM X‑Sync 30T steel ring is aimed at trail riders, bikepackers, and MTB riders who value durability and predictable chain retention over minimal weight. It’s a great choice as a robust replacement part for hard‑used bikes, rental fleets, and commuters who want long service intervals. If you race XC and prioritize grams, consider an aluminum or direct‑mount aluminum ring; but for riders who need a dependable, low‑maintenance 1x solution that tolerates knocks, grit, and heavy mileage, the steel X‑Sync is an excellent, cost‑effective choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The X‑Sync 30T is designed for 11‑speed chain profiles and will perform best with 11‑speed chains. It may physically work with some 10‑speed setups, but chain retention and shifting may not be optimal. For 12‑speed SRAM drivetrains, choose a ring specified for 12‑speed.

Can I fit this on any crankset with 4 bolts?

You must match the 94mm bolt circle diameter (BCD) and 4‑bolt pattern. If your crank spider is 94 BCD, this ring will fit; if your crank is direct‑mount or a different BCD, it won’t. Always confirm BCD before ordering.

How much does the ring weigh and how does steel compare to aluminum?

This chainring ships at about 0.28 lb (≈127 g). Steel is heavier than aluminum but offers superior impact resistance and wear life—ideal for aggressive trail riding, rental fleets, or riders who prioritize durability.

What torque should I use for the chainring bolts?

Use the crank manufacturer's recommended torque; a common safe range for 4‑bolt rings is about 8–12 Nm. Apply thread locker if specified and tighten bolts in a star pattern to ensure even seating.

Do I need a chainline adjustment or bashguard with this ring?

Check your crank spider and frame clearance. The 3.5mm thickness is standard for many setups, but if you run a bashguard or narrow chainstay clearance you may need spacers or a different mounting configuration. Confirm chainline for smooth shifting and reduced wear.

Buying Guide

When choosing a chainring, match BCD and bolt pattern first, then decide on tooth count, material, and tooth profile. Steel rings like this SRAM X‑Sync are heavier but far more durable than aluminum—ideal for riders who encounter rocks, repeated impacts, or long maintenance intervals. Pick your tooth count based on terrain: 30T is a balanced choice for technical climbing and steady trail speeds. For best performance stick to the specified speed compatibility (11‑speed here) and verify chainline and clearance during installation.
