Know before you buy
Yes, this chainring is specifically engineered for Shimano 11-speed mountain bike systems. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with the M9000 series components to maintain precise shifting performance.
The 64mm Bolt Circle Diameter (BCD) is a standard measurement for inner chainrings on many mountain bike cranksets. You should verify that your current crank spider supports a 64mm BCD configuration before purchasing.
This chainring is optimized specifically for 11-speed chains. Using it with a different speed chain may result in poor shifting quality, increased noise, or premature wear on the drivetrain components.
The XTR series utilizes higher-grade materials and more precise manufacturing tolerances compared to lower-tier groups. This results in a lighter, more durable chainring that offers smoother shifting under the high-torque conditions typical of trail riding.
No, this product is the chainring only. You will need to reuse your existing chainring bolts or purchase a new set compatible with your specific crankset.
