Serious mountain bikers, listen up - this Race Face 30T direct mount chainring is the real deal! Designed and machined right in their Vancouver facility, this thing is built to handle the gnarly trails of the North Shore and Whistler Bike Park. The 30-tooth configuration gives you that perfect balance of climbing power and speed maintenance. What's really cool is how lightweight it is - only 57 grams for the 30T version, which helps shave precious weight from your setup. The direct mount design makes installation super straightforward and ensures a solid, secure connection to your crankset. It's specifically engineered for 12-speed Shimano drivetrains, so shifting is smooth and precise every time.
