The Shimano SM-CRM96 XTR Single Chainring is built for riders who demand precision chain control, low drag, and lasting durability on 12-speed systems. Featuring Shimano s Dynamic Chain Engagement technology, this chainring improves chain stability across rough terrain while keeping noise and resistance to a minimum. Its aluminium design balances stiffness and weight for consistent power transfer ride after ride.Key Features and Benefits:Dynamic Chain Engagement tooth profile: Uses wider, taller, and alternate-shaped teeth with hooked leading edges. This enhances chain grip and minimises the chance of chain drop, ensuring reliable drivetrain performance in demanding off-road conditions.Minimised drag design: The tooth shaping reduces friction between the chain and ring. This improves pedalling efficiency and results in a smoother, quieter ride with less power loss.Aluminium construction: Offers a lightweight yet rigid build. The result is better responsiveness during hard efforts and improved wear resistance for longer life.12-speed HG chain compatibility: Specifically engineered to match Shimano s 12-speed chains. This provides smooth gear changes and maximises drivetrain performance under load.Multiple tooth count options (28T to 38T): Allows precise tuning based on rider preference, terrain, and gearing setup. This ensures optimal cadence control whether climbing or descending.Built to reduce mechanical failure and improve drivetrain efficiency, this chainring is ideal for riders seeking secure chain retention and consistent power output. Its advanced tooth profile, lightweight build, and wide gear range compatibility make it a strong choice for performance-focused XC and trail setups.Upgrade your drivetrain with a chainring designed for precision, durability, and seamless performance on tough terrain.
