Does the SM-CRM96 keep your chain locked in when the trail gets rough?

Yes. The Shimano XTR SM-CRM96 is the direct-mount chainring built for the M9200 generation, and its Dynamic Chain Engagement+ tooth profile is the whole point. Alternating tall and wide teeth grip the chain across every link, so it stays glued to the ring through braking bumps, root gardens, and hard efforts out of the saddle. This is the 38T, the biggest ring in the range, meant for riders who want top-end speed on flatter trail and fast fire-road pulls.

It mounts straight to FC-M9200 and FC-M9220 cranks with a 55mm chainline and 0mm offset, and it runs Shimano's 12-speed Hyperglide+ chain. The machined construction keeps weight down while the reinforced build shrugs off rock strikes, so you get XTR-level shifting precision without babying it.

FAQ

Which cranks does the 38T fit?

It is a Shimano Direct Mount chainring made for the XTR FC-M9200 and FC-M9220 cranksets. It also fits other Shimano 12-speed Direct Mount cranks when you are replacing a 0 mm offset ring, and it holds the 55 mm chainline those cranks use.

What chain do I need to run it?

A Shimano 12-speed Hyperglide+ chain. Dynamic Chain Engagement+ is designed around the HG+ chain, so pairing the two is what gives you the quiet running and strong retention.

Is 38T the right size for me?

The 38T is the largest ring in the SM-CRM96 range. It suits riders chasing more top-end speed on flatter, faster trail and fire road. If your riding is steeper and more technical, a smaller ring in the range will give you an easier climbing gear.

Best For

XC and trail riders on a Shimano XTR M9200 or M9220 crank who want the top-end gearing of a 38T ring with the chain retention and shift quality Dynamic Chain Engagement+ delivers.
