It seems that a few companies are getting in on the game with the alternating teeth style chainrings like SRAM XX1. I quite like the idea of one for the Canyon. I'm looking at Wolftooth Componentsat the moment, but I understand Raceface and others are developing similar. The Wolf Tooth one was (but doesn't now seem to be) available in 28t, which would probably make sense for me personally, although a 30t could be OK.

Has anyone had any experience of these?

    A few people on the weight weenies webiste have tried them and expressed themselves happy, one was running 1x10 and did it without a damped mech and still reckons the chain stayed put!

    most interesting thing on that site
    Note that the 30T chainring is threaded

    It that because it wouldn't fit in the bcd with the 'nut'?

    I did wonder about that, actually. What are the implications of it being threaded?
