Race Face

Cinch Oval Direct Mount Chainring

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This is a solid option for riders curious about oval rings but who still want simple setup and reliability. The machining is clean, chain retention is dependable, and the ability to flip for Super Boost makes it more versatile than most oval options."

The Race Face DM Oval Chainring is engineered for riders looking to improve pedaling efficiency and traction without complicating their drivetrain. Its oval shape is designed to reduce dead spots in the pedal stroke, helping maintain momentum on steep climbs and technical terrain while reducing fatigue over long efforts.

Built around the Race Face Cinch direct mount system, the chainring installs quickly and maintains a secure, lightweight interface with compatible crankarms. The narrow-wide tooth profile provides consistent chain retention across rough trail conditions, while compatibility with SRAM 10, 11, and 12-speed drivetrains and Shimano 11-speed systems makes it a flexible choice for a wide range of builds.

With a standard 3mm Boost offset and a reversible design that supports Super Boost chainlines, the DM Oval Chainring is well suited for modern trail and enduro bikes. It’s an ideal upgrade for riders who want smoother power delivery, reliable chain security, and adaptable compatibility in a durable, trail-ready chainring.
