Product Information

Full details

The Renthal 1XR 4-Arm Narrow Wide Chainring is an essential component for mountain bikers seeking maximum chain security and drivetrain reliability. Designed specifically for 2016-era Shimano XTR M9000 and XT M8000 cranksets, this chainring excels in aggressive trail and enduro riding by utilizing a sophisticated tooth profile that keeps the chain firmly in place. While it offers industry-leading retention and mud-shedding capabilities, it is important to note that its specific mounting compatibility limits it to these older 96BCD Shimano crank models.

FAQs

Will this fit my 104BCD crankset?

No, this chainring is designed exclusively for the 96BCD bolt pattern on specific 2016 Shimano cranks.

Do I need a chain guide with this ring?

In most cases, no. The narrow-wide profile provides enough retention for most aggressive trail and enduro riding.

What chain speeds is this compatible with?

It is designed to work with standard 1x drivetrain configurations, typically supporting 10, 11, and 12-speed chains depending on your specific drivetrain setup.

Is the 34T the only size available?

Renthal produces various sizes in the 1XR series, including 30T, 32T, and 36T, though availability depends on specific model runs.

Does the chainring come with mounting bolts?

No, the chainring does not include mounting bolts; you should reuse your existing Shimano compatible hardware or purchase replacements if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Chain dropping frequently

Verify that your rear derailleur clutch is engaged and that your chain length is sized correctly.

Grinding noise under load

Check that the chain is correctly seated on the narrow-wide teeth and that the chainring bolts are fully torqued.

Excessive wear on teeth

Ensure you are using a clean, lubricated chain; a worn-out chain will accelerate tooth wear on aluminum rings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional chain retention in rough terrain
  • Excellent mud shedding capabilities for wet weather
  • Highly stiff construction resists bending under load
  • Lightweight and durable 7075 T6 aluminium design

Cons

  • Compatible only with 2016 Shimano XTR M9000 and XT M8000 cranks
  • Not compatible with modern 104BCD or direct-mount systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This chainring is specifically engineered for the 96BCD (Bolt Circle Diameter) 4-arm bolt pattern found on 2016 Shimano XTR M9000 and XT M8000 cranksets. When installing, ensure all four chainring bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque settings to prevent loosening. Because this is a narrow-wide ring, ensure the wider teeth align correctly with the outer chain links. For maintenance, keep the ring clean of excessive grime buildup; while the mud grooves assist in debris removal, wiping it down with a degreaser after particularly wet rides will prolong the life of the anodised coating.
