Race Face Direct Mount Narrow/Wide Single Chainring (32T / 34T)

The Race Face Direct Mount Narrow/Wide Single Chainring is the ideal choice for riders building a clean, reliable 1x drivetrain around Race Face CINCH cranks.

Designed for aggressive trail, enduro, and all-mountain riding, this chainring uses a 7075-T6 aluminium construction to deliver the ideal balance of low weight, stiffness, and long-term durability. It is significantly lighter than steel options while still offering excellent real-world strength for analogue MTB builds. (silverfish-uk.com )

The narrow-wide tooth profile is engineered for maximum chain retention, helping eliminate dropped chains without needing excessive chain guide setups. For modern 1x drivetrains, this is one of the simplest and smartest reliability upgrades riders can make. (silverfish-uk.com )

Using the proven Race Face CINCH direct mount interface, the ring mounts cleanly without spiders, reducing weight and improving stiffness while giving a cleaner drivetrain setup. It is compatible with:

• 9-speed
• 10-speed
• 11-speed
• most 12-speed drivetrains

(Note: not compatible with Shimano 12-speed HG+ chains or SRAM T-Type Transmission systems.)

Available in:

• 32T
• 34T
• 36T

This makes it the perfect analogue MTB complement to your Bosch-specific and SRAM T-Type offerings.
