The Race Face Narrow Wide Single Steel Chainring is an ideal upgrade for mountain bikers who prioritize long-term durability and consistent chain retention across XC, Trail, AM, and DH disciplines. By utilizing high-strength, corrosion-resistant steel, this chainring offers a significantly longer lifespan compared to aluminum counterparts, though it does carry a slight weight penalty. It integrates seamlessly into the Race Face Cinch system, providing riders with an reliable, low-maintenance drivetrain component that withstands the rigors of aggressive riding.

No, this chainring is not compatible with Shimano 12-speed chains. It is compatible with most other 9, 10, 11, and 12-speed chains.
It is compatible with all Race Face cranksets that feature the CINCH System Interface.
Yes, you need a standard splined bottom bracket tool to tighten or loosen the Cinch lockring.
Steel is inherently denser than aluminum, which is the trade-off for the increased durability and lifespan this ring provides.
While it is durable enough, check your specific E-bike motor crank interface to ensure it uses the Race Face Cinch standard.
Check that the Cinch lockring is tightened to the recommended torque specification and ensure the chain is properly lubricated.
Verify that your chain length is correct and your rear derailleur clutch is engaged; confirm the chain is not a Shimano 12-speed type.
Installation requires a standard splined bottom bracket tool compatible with the Race Face Cinch lockring. Ensure the mounting surfaces on your Cinch crank are clean and lightly greased before installation to prevent creaking. While the ring is compatible with most 9 through 12-speed chains, it is explicitly not compatible with Shimano 12-speed hyperglide+ chains due to tooth profile variances. Maintenance is straightforward: periodically inspect the ring for debris, and because of the corrosion-inhibiting coating, standard cleaning with soap and water is sufficient. Avoid using harsh chemical degreasers that may strip the protective finish over time.
