X-SYNC

  • SRAM X-SYNC 1x chain rings provide the highest level of performance and durability in the market
  • The SRAM X-SYNC tall square teeth edges engage the chain earlier than traditional triangle shaped teeth
  • The sharp and narrow tooth profile, as well as rounded chamfer edges, help manage a deflected chain
  • To provide the best possible performance in muddy conditions, the X-SYNC chain rings have been designed with mud-clearing recesses for the inner chain links and rollers
  • Engineered in Germany, X-SYNC rings are an integral part of the SRAM 1x drivetrain.

Looks cool but not that much weight saving.

agreed marius. minimal weight saving, but i guess the value lies in the total saving. I recently bought into this concept for my next whip's drivetrain for no reason other than it looks interesting. hahahah utterly useless i know. At least you can switch back to a spider if wanting to move to a 2x crank setup.

Its not about the weight saving as much as it alleviates the possibility of creaking from the chainring bolts

from what i've read, apparently, its mostly to do with loss of pedaling efficiency due to deflections in the spider and the reduction in mass that comes with ditching the spider. No mention of squeak being an overriding concern from the few articles read. Much of a muchness.

Ditch the SRAM and go for a Race Face direct mount crank! cannot beat their price to weight ratio!
