SRAM CX1 X-Sync Chain Ring
Best durable upgrade for dedicated cyclocross and gravel enthusiasts.
This ring turns your drivetrain into a single-minded machine, ditching the front derailleur for a cleaner, lighter setup that refuses to drop a chain. You sacrifice the gear range of a double setup, but you gain absolute reliability and mud-shedding performance that thrives when the trail gets messy.
