I'm happy that Race Face is making these steel chainrings for their cinch cranks. It was great to be able to upgrade to a 1x12 drivetrain without having to buy a new crank set.

works as advertised with Shimano 12s.
slightly quieter than 11s version. Chain retention seems similar.
other info:
alternate chainlines by flipping the ring is not possible unlike other raceface/easton chainrings because the backside flairs out and contacts the crankarm.

There is no other offer at this price point. It's a shame that there is no 28T option available, this size is a must for 1x medium cage mechs that pair with a 10-45 cassette

This is a super good option if you do not want to spend that much. I had this chainring in my last downhill bike, it was super durable and i trusted everything on it. Perfect option and awesome pricing!

Frequently asked questions

Can this chainring be flipped to adjust the chainline?

No, this chainring cannot be flipped to achieve an alternate chainline.

This is due to the specific design where the backside of the ring flares out. If reversed, the geometry would contact the crankarm, preventing installation and ensuring the intended 3mm offset is maintained.

What cranksets are compatible with this chainring?

This chainring is compatible with Cinch Direct Mount Cranks, allowing for seamless integration with your existing Cinch crankset.

Does this ring require a specific chain type?

Yes, this chainring is specifically engineered for Shimano 12-speed (SHI-12) drivetrain systems. To ensure optimal performance and the secure chain retention provided by the Narrow-Wide tooth profiling, it is essential to use a compatible 12-speed chain.

Does this require any special tools for installation?

Since this uses the Cinch direct-mount interface, installation is designed to be quick and straightforward. You will primarily need the specific Cinch lockring tool (often a bottom bracket tool) to secure or remove the chainring from your compatible crankset.

Can I easily swap this chainring?

Yes, it features the Cinch interface for fast and easy swapping, allowing you to customize your drivetrain setup quickly and efficiently.

Is this chainring suitable for heavy-duty mountain biking?

Absolutely. This chainring is engineered for demanding trail use and intense riding conditions. Its steel construction is designed to withstand: <ul><li>Years of rugged terrain and dirt</li><li>Frequent, high-torque climbing</li><li>Consistent performance during long-distance singletrack rides</li></ul>

Lifetime Warranty, Crashes Included.

Crashes are part of mountain biking. When they happen, we have your back.
