5DEV Aero Road Gravel Chainring

5DEV Aero Road Gravel Chainring Info

5DEV Aero Road Gravel Chainring is a lightweight, aerodynamically optimized 1x chainring designed for modern road and gravel builds where efficiency and clean integration matter. Machined from aluminum with a sculpted aero profile, this ring reduces drag while maintaining precise chain control for high-speed riding on pavement and mixed terrain.

Using the SRAM 8-bolt mounting pattern and a 7mm offset, the Aero Road Gravel Chainring integrates seamlessly with contemporary SRAM cranksets. It’s optimized for use with SRAM Transmission, XPLR, AXS, and SRAM Eagle chains, making it a versatile option for gravel race bikes, road 1x setups, and mullet drivetrains.

5DEV’s Shark Fin Tech is built into the tooth profile to help reduce chain noise—especially beneficial on 1x mullet builds using MTB cassettes. The aero shaping is purpose-designed to work with 5DEV T47 bottom brackets or SRAM DUB bottom bracket cups; compatibility with some outboard T47 systems may be limited.
