Shimano SM-CRM86 Single Chainring For XT M8200

Shimano’s SM-CRM86 chainring delivers precise chain control, low drag, and long-lasting durability in a lightweight, direct-mount design for XT M8200 drivetrains. It features Shimano’s advanced tooth profile for reliable chain retention under load, minimised noise, and smoother pedalling on demanding trails.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Dynamic Chain Engagement (DCE) tooth profile with hooked leading edge: Improves chain hold and prevents jump-out. This ensures stable, secure performance over rough terrain and under high torque conditions. The result is fewer dropped chains and more confident pedalling.
• Alternating narrow-wide tooth design: Enhances chain retention and reduces wear. By engaging the chain more effectively, it extends drivetrain life and improves consistency during gear transitions.
• Minimised drag shaping: Reduces friction between the chain and ring. This leads to a smoother, quieter drivetrain and improves power efficiency on climbs and flats.
• Aluminium construction: Balances weight, rigidity, and strength. The structure resists flex under load, improving responsiveness while reducing overall bike weight.
• Direct mount interface: Simplifies installation and maximises drivetrain stiffness. This boosts power transfer and improves alignment between the chainring and chain.
• Compatible with HG 12-speed chains: Designed to work seamlessly with Shimano’s latest drivetrain systems. Ensures smooth, crisp shifting and long-term compatibility.

Designed for riders who demand consistent chain retention and minimal drivetrain noise, the SM-CRM86 helps maintain peak performance in aggressive XC, trail, and enduro riding. Its precise tooth shaping and durable materials deliver confidence over unpredictable terrain while keeping drivetrain maintenance low.

Built for reliability and simplicity, this chainring offers a refined upgrade for your XT M8200 setup. Choose your preferred tooth count and keep your drivetrain performing at its best.
