Narrow Wide Cinch Direct Mount Chainring

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve used this ring on everything from trail bikes to dirt jumpers, and it’s incredibly reliable. Chain retention is excellent without a guide, and the forged 7075 alloy holds up to real abuse. If you want a no-frills, affordable Cinch ring that just works, this one is hard to beat."

When we’re building a drivetrain that needs to stay quiet, dependable, and ready for rough terrain, the Race Face 1X Narrow-Wide Cinch Direct Mount Chainring is always in the mix. It keeps things simple and effective, letting us focus on riding instead of worrying about dropped chains or premature wear. From steep crawls to fast trail laps, it delivers consistent confidence under power.

Forged from tough 7075-T6 aluminum, this chainring is built to take repeated hits while maintaining a stiff, responsive feel at the pedals. The alternating narrow-wide tooth profile grips the chain securely through chatter and compressions, while the Cinch direct mount interface makes swapping sizes quick and painless. It’s a straightforward, trail-proven solution for riders who want durability without complication.
