Know before you buy
The Thread Mount system provides a secure, direct interface that minimizes movement and enhances power transfer. It is designed to ensure the chainring remains stable under the high torque loads typical of gravel and performance riding.
Smaller tooth counts like 38t or 40t offer easier gearing for steep climbs and technical terrain. Larger options like 44t or 46t provide higher top-end speed for flatter, faster gravel routes.
The Red XPLR chainring is specifically engineered for the XPLR ecosystem. You should verify that your current crankset supports the Thread Mount standard before purchasing to ensure proper fitment.
The finish is durable and designed to withstand the rigors of gravel riding. Standard cleaning with mild soap and water, followed by regular chain lubrication, is sufficient to keep it looking and performing at its best.
This chainring is optimized for SRAM's Flattop chain technology. For the best shifting performance and to prevent premature wear, we recommend pairing it with a compatible Flattop chain.
