SRAM Eagle Cranks and Chainrings – SRAM

What is the Q factor on Eagle AXS cranks and is it different to current Eagle?

The Q factor for Eagle AXS cranks is the same as the current Q factor for our DUB cranksets. Different chainlines are available for compatibility specifications. See more

What size and type of tool is required to remove SRAM Eagle chainrings from the crank spider?

Use a T25 torx key to remove the three bolts holding the direct mount chainring to the crankset. See more

What chainring size options do you offer for SRAM Eagle ?

Eagle chainrings will be available in 30T, 32T, 34T, 36T, 38T. See more

Can I use the Eagle X-SYNC 2 chainrings with my SRAM 1x11 drivetrain?

Yes. Eagle X-SYNC 2 chainrings are 11-speed compatible. You can use Eagle X-SYNC 2 chainrings with 11-speed NX, X, X1, X01, and XX1 drivetrains. However, traditional SRAM X-SYNC 11-speed rings are ... See more

Can I use the new SRAM Eagle drivetrain with the “old” X-SYNC chainrings?

No. Eagle X-SYNC 2 chainrings are specifically designed to handle 12-Speed Eagle chains. Using the original X-SYNC chainring with an Eagle drivetrain will reduce performance, cause excessive noise,... See more

If I upgrade to a SRAM Eagle chainring, do I need to use a SRAM Eagle chain?

No. The X-SYNC 2 chainrings are also compatible with our SRAM 11-speed components. Note: If using the X-SYNC 2 chainring with an SRAM 11-speed drivetrain, then you should use an SRAM 11-speed cha... See more

Can I use a non-SRAM chainring on my EAGLE drivetrain?

No. We do not test components made by other manufacturers and we recommend using only SRAM components that are compatible with the Eagle ecosystem. Using third-party components can cause increased ... See more

How do I tell the difference between SRAM X-SYNC 2 and original X-SYNC chainrings?

We learned a lot from inventing and producing the first 1x-specific chainrings with chain-retention capability. Wear, noise, cross chaining, mud clearance, retention, guiding, and other factors wer... See more

Which chainring offset do I need for my SRAM EAGLE drivetrain?

Offset is determined by chainline, which is impacted by rear hub spacing. For Boost 148mm setups, use a 3mm offset X-SYNC 2 chainring. The 6mm offset chainring is used for non-Boost 142mm. However,... See more

What is chainline and why does it matter for my SRAM drivetrain?

Chainline is determined by the dimensional relationships between the frame, cassette, and chainrings. Incorrect chainline can cause poor shifting, excessive friction and wear, and unintended shifti... See more

Is there an oval chainring option for the SRAM Eagle drivetrain?

Yes. We offer oval chainrings in various sizes and offsets. You can find all available Eagle chainrings in our SRAM spare parts catalog. See more
