Garbaruk AERO threaded-mount chainring for SRAM XX/XX SL power meter, 9–12-speed

Garbaruk AERO thread mount chainring for SRAM XX/XX SL power meter 9-12s

The Garbaruk AERO thread mount chainring is designed for modern mountain biking, combining a lightweight construction, reliable chain retention and compatibility with SRAM's new power meter cranksets. This model is compatible with SRAM XX and XX SL power meter setups, and its aero design gives the chainring a refined look and a stiff, efficient pedaling feel. According to Garbaruk, the chainring is available in round and oval versions, with 0 mm and 3 mm offset options.

The chainring is designed for 1x and singlespeed use with 9–12-speed setups, and Garbaruk's narrow-wide tooth profile helps keep the chain in place even during demanding off-road riding. The precisely machined aluminum construction keeps weight low while retaining excellent stiffness and durability for active trail, XC and enduro riding.

Garbaruk SRAM XX/XX SL power meter AERO chainring for demanding MTB use

The Garbaruk MTB AERO thread mount chainring is a high-performance option for riders using SRAM XX or XX SL power meter cranks who want to upgrade their drivetrain with a lighter, more refined solution that offers reliable chain retention. The AERO design gives the chainring a striking, modern look, while its development also prioritizes practical performance, stiffness and compatibility with the latest SRAM Transmission setups.

According to Garbaruk's product information, the chainring's narrow-wide tooth profile is designed to work particularly well with 12-speed T-Type, SRAM AXS Flattop, and compatible Shimano and KMC chains. This makes it an exceptionally versatile option for riders seeking compatibility with both modern SRAM MTB systems and a range of other 9–12-speed chains. The manufacturer also recommends the round version if the goal is the most accurate power meter readings, as an oval chainring can cause a persistent measurement deviation of around 2–4%.
