Race Face

Direct Mount Chainring

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I recommend this chainring anytime someone wants a reliable, no-nonsense 1x setup. The CINCH interface makes swaps easy, and the narrow-wide teeth hold the chain better than most stock rings I’ve used. It’s durable, quiet, and fits seamlessly into modern drivetrains."

The Race Face Direct Mount Chainring is built for riders who value simplicity, efficiency, and reliability in their drivetrain. By eliminating the need for a traditional spider, this direct mount design reduces weight and creates a cleaner crank interface, improving stiffness and power transfer under load. It’s an ideal choice for modern 1x mountain bike builds focused on performance and durability.

Machined from aluminum and shaped with Race Face’s proven narrow-wide tooth profile, the chainring keeps the chain securely in place through rough descents, high-torque climbs, and long days in the saddle. Compatibility with Race Face CINCH cranks allows for easy installation and quick gearing changes, making it a versatile option for riders who like to fine-tune their setup.

From trail bikes to aggressive all-mountain builds, this chainring delivers consistent engagement, dependable chain retention, and long-lasting performance—exactly what we look for in a drivetrain component we trust on every ride.
