Hold your line with precision using the Shimano XTR SM-CRM96 Chainring for 1x12 setups
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I just installed the SM-CRM96 on my trail bike and immediately felt the chain stay more locked in over root sections. It’s quiet, super durable, and the 30t size is just right for the punchy climbs on my local loop. Setup was fast thanks to the direct mount."
The Shimano XTR SM-CRM96 Chainring is built for the high-performance needs of aggressive XC and trail riders. Featuring Shimano’s Dynamic Chain Engagement, this ring uses a narrow-wide tooth profile to maintain a tight connection with the chain—minimizing drops and noise, even on rough terrain.
Offered in sizes from 28t to 36t, the SM-CRM96 gives riders the ability to fine-tune their gearing for steep climbs or fast descents. Designed for direct-mount compatibility with Shimano’s XTR cranksets, it simplifies installation while optimizing stiffness and chainline. Constructed from lightweight and durable aluminum, the ring holds up to repeated trail abuse without adding unnecessary weight.
It pairs ideally with Shimano’s 12-speed drivetrain systems and wide-range cassettes like the 10–45T or 10–51T. Whether you're dialing in a race build or upgrading a trail rig, the SM-CRM96 chainring delivers responsive power transfer and quiet confidence.
