Product Description

PASS QUEST X96BCD Narrow-Wide MTB Chainring

The PASS QUEST X96BCD Narrow-Wide Chainring is designed for compatible Shimano asymmetric 4-arm MTB cranksets, including selected M6000, M7000, M8000, M9000 and M5100 series cranks.

CNC-machined from high-strength 7075-T651 aluminum alloy, the chainring combines low weight, high rigidity and a narrow-wide tooth profile for improved chain retention in 1x MTB drivetrains.

Available from 30T to 48T, making it suitable for XC, trail, climbing and custom mountain bike builds.

Shimano 96BCD Compatibility

Designed for compatible Shimano asymmetric 96BCD cranksets, including selected:

• Shimano Deore M6000
• Shimano SLX M7000
• Shimano Deore XT M8000
• Shimano XTR M9000
• Shimano Deore M5100

Please confirm your crank model and 96BCD asymmetric 4-arm mounting pattern before ordering.

Narrow-Wide Tooth Design

The chainring uses an extended narrow-wide tooth profile to improve chain engagement and reduce the risk of chain drop.

The tooth height is approximately:

8.5mm

The deeper tooth engagement helps maintain drivetrain stability during:

• Rough terrain
• Climbing
• High-cadence riding
• Hard acceleration
• Trail riding
• XC riding

7075-T651 CNC Construction

The chainring is CNC-machined from high-strength 7075-T651 aluminum alloy.

This provides an excellent balance of:

• High rigidity
• Low weight
• Impact resistance
• Wear resistance
• Long-term durability
• Direct power transfer

Lightweight Open Structure

The chainring uses an optimized open structure to remove unnecessary material while maintaining stiffness around the load-bearing areas.

This helps provide:

• Reduced weight
• Stable power transfer
• Better stress distribution
• High structural rigidity
• Long-term durability

Recessed Mounting Design

The recessed mounting interface increases the contact area between the chainring and crank spider.

This helps provide:

• Accurate positioning
• Cleaner installation
• Secure fitment
• Reduced unwanted movement

Designed for 1x MTB Drivetrains

The narrow-wide tooth profile makes this chainring ideal for 1x mountain bike drivetrains.

It offers a clean and simple setup without a front derailleur while maintaining reliable chain retention.
