FAQ

What does the AM-type designation mean?

AM stands for All Mountain, indicating a ring optimized for all-mountain and trail riding where the wider 38/24t range suits technical terrain. Shimano also offered a XC-type combination with narrower gearing for cross-country racing.

Does this include the inner ring?

No. Sold as a single outer chainring only. The 24t AM-type inner ring and any mounting hardware are sold separately.

Will this fit other Shimano MTB cranks with 104mm BCD?

This ring is specified for the Shimano XT FC-M785 crankset. While the 104mm BCD is a common standard, compatibility with other cranks is not guaranteed due to chainline and front derailleur setup differences. Confirm fitment with your specific crankset before ordering.

Best For
