What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"This Garbaruk oval ring adds a smoother pedal stroke without sacrificing efficiency. It's incredibly well-machined, holds the chain tight, and drops right onto SRAM's 8-bolt AXS cranks-perfect for riders chasing marginal gains on gravel or road."Garbaruk's AXS Road/CX Oval Chainring brings refined performance to SRAM's 8-bolt AXS cranksets with precision CNC engineering and lightweight efficiency. Crafted from 7075-T651 aluminum, this direct-mount ring sheds unnecessary grams while maintaining the stiffness and durability required for high-output road, gravel, and cyclocross rides. The oval profile smooths the power curve, enhancing traction and reducing fatigue through more efficient pedaling dynamics. A proprietary tooth shape delivers reliable chain retention, even on rough terrain, while wide mud gaps keep the ring clean and shifting crisp in variable conditions. Finished with an anodized coating in multiple color options, it balances sleek design with all-weather performance.
