This Direct Mount chainring uses Shimano’s Dynamic Chain Engagement+ technology to keep the chain securely in place even over rough terrain. The specially shaped teeth reduce chain drops and noise, ensuring smooth, confident transmission of power.

Built for XTR 12-Speed Cranksets: Designed specifically for Shimano XTR cranksets (models FC‑M9200 and FC‑M9220), the SM‑CRM96 chainring is fully compatible with 12-speed Hyperglide+ drivetrains. It fits seamlessly into high-end setups without need for extra spacers or adaptors.

Impact-Resistant Reinforced Design: Machined from strong anodized aluminum, the ring is reinforced in areas most prone to impacts. This ensures it withstands rocks, roots and trail debris while maintaining a lightweight profile—ideal for enduro, all‑mountain and XC riding.

Size Range to Suit Every Rider: Available in 28T, 30T, 32T, 34T, 36T and 38T sizes (in 2-tooth increments), the chainring gives riders flexibility to fine-tune gearing for climbing efficiency, top-end speed, or mixed-terrain balance depending on their style and terrain.

Despite its strength, the SM‑CRM96 delivers excellent stiffness and low rotational weight—measurements show around 64 g for a 32T ring.
