Use only the stock Shimano XTR chainring bolts (M7). Made from long-lasting 7075-T6 aluminum. Specifications: Single chain-retaining ring, 12 drivetrain speeds, 96 Shimano Asymmetric BCD, black color, and aluminum material.

Using this chainring is easy. First, make sure you have a Shimano XTR M9000 or M9020 1x or 2x crankset. Only use the stock Shimano XTR chainring bolts (M7) to install it. It's important to note that this chainring only works with Hyperglide+ chains. For maintenance, regularly clean the chainring with a mild cleaner to keep it in good condition. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the 7075-T6 aluminum material. Also, check the chain and the chainring for wear periodically. If you notice any signs of excessive wear, it's time to replace them to ensure a smooth and quiet ride.
