SRAM Chainring 36T BCD 104mm 2×10

The SRAM Chainring 36T BCD 104mm 2×10 is a compact outer ring for 2×10 mountain bike drivetrains. It gives riders a lighter, more climbing‑friendly gear setup while keeping usable speed on flatter trails.

Direct‑mount 2×10 compatibility

This SRAM 36T chainring fits 104mm BCD 2×10‑speed cranks, so it works with SRAM and Truvativ 2×10 doubles. It pairs with a 24T inner ring to create a 24/36T double setup. As a result, the chainline stays more stable and pedaling feels smoother.

Performance and gear range

The 36‑tooth size lowers the outer ring compared with 38T or 40T MTB rings. This makes steep climbs more manageable for riders. At the same time, it still offers enough top‑end speed for descents and flat sections. When you combine this ring with a wide‑range 10‑speed cassette, you get a practical gear range for mixed terrain.

Material, finish, and value

Manufacturers list this 36T chainring as a forged or heat‑treated alloy tooth ring with a tough black finish. The finish hides wear and oxidation in regular use. The ring stays relatively lightweight for trail‑ready conditions and is easy to fit as a 2×10 upgrade. Because of this, it gives a simple, cost‑effective way to tune your MTB gearing for more climbing.
