The Shimano SM-CRM85 chainring is a 34-tooth direct-mount ring designed specifically for 12-speed Deore XT cranksets such as the FC-M8100-1. It features Shimano’s Dynamic Chain Engagement+ technology, which uses a narrow-wide tooth profile to improve chain retention and pedaling efficiency in rough terrain. The ring mounts directly to the crank arm without a spider and is built with a steel tooth plate bonded to an aluminum carrier for durability and low weight.
