A limited-run matte black version of Garbaruk's aero 1x direct-mount chainring for SRAM 8-bolt cranks. Ready for SRAM's 13-speed XPLR and road groupsets.

Compatibility

Cranks: SRAM 8-bolt direct-mount cranks, including RED XPLR, Force AXS, Force 1 / Force 1 AXS (incl. Wide), Force XPLR, Rival 1 AXS (incl. Wide), Rival XPLR, Apex 1 Wide and Apex AXS

Chains: 9, 10 and 11-speed chains, SRAM 12-speed Eagle and T-Type, KMC, Shimano HG+ and SRAM AXS Flattop 13-speed chains

Offset: chosen by tooth count to keep the chainline right (see Garbaruk's chart, or ask us).

Oval rings smooth out the dead spot in your pedal stroke; round rings give a traditional feel.

Features

• Narrow-wide tooth profile for tight chain contact and smooth pedalling
• Taller teeth and variable tooth thickness keep the chain on over rough ground
• Chamfered edges and a wide mud gap shed dirt
• CNC-machined from durable aluminium alloy, anodised in Poland
• Running 1x saves 150–400g compared with a front derailleur set-up
