Built for single-chainring drivetrains, it fits a wide range of modern mountain bikes and is compatible with 10-, 11- and 12-speed systems while keeping weight and budget trade-offs in check compared to fully CNC-machined options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the X-Sync 2 tooth profile help on rough trails?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSRAM's Eagle-inspired tooth shaping is designed to guide and hold the chain securely even when hitting roots, rocks, or hard impacts.
