RaceFace Narrow Wide 32T Direct Mount Chainring - Purple

The Race Face Narrow Wide Cinch Direct Mount Chainring is a recent innovation in mountain biking that has arguably become the most understated progression. This chainring features a Narrow Wide tooth profile, designed to create a tighter interface between the inner and outer links, preventing the chain from jumping. The elimination of the weakness of four-bolt interfaces and the use of 7075-T6, 4mm-thick, aerospace-grade aluminum allow for a lightweight and stiff interface between the Race Face cranks, effectively transferring pedal loads without flexing.

The Narrow-Wide design helps to retain the chain by preventing jump, which is achieved through the tighter interface between the inner and outer links. This innovation has eliminated the need for heavy guides, and with the large-ratio spread of modern cassettes and the available 26- through 36-tooth Narrow Wide Cinch Direct Mount Chainring options from Race Face, users can bid farewell to redundant double and triple cranksets.

The proprietary Cinch spline found on the Narrow Wide Cinch Direct Mount Chainring utilizes a standard Park BBT-22 bottom bracket tool for installation, further simplifying the process. This design, with its 7075-T6, 4mm-thick, aerospace-grade aluminum construction, ensures the transfer of pedal loads without flexing, offering the lightest and stiffest interface between Race Face cranks.

The Race Face Narrow Wide Cinch Direct Mount Chainring is only compatible with Cinch cranks, and it comes in a range of tooth count options, including 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, and 38 teeth. This versatility allows the chainring to work seamlessly with 9-through-12-speed drivetrains, meeting the diverse needs of mountain bikers.

In summary, the Race Face Narrow Wide Cinch Direct Mount Chainring is a remarkable innovation that addresses the common issues faced in mountain biking. Its Narrow Wide tooth profile, lightweight and stiff construction, and compatibility with modern drivetrains make it a standout choice for riders seeking a reliable and performance-enhancing component for their bikes.
