Which SRAM chainring

BigHonzo

Happy with my 1x11 nx drivetrain, but need to change to a 30t chainring.

Is the x sync 2 (eagle) better than x sync 1 for 11 speed?

Is cold forged durable enough compared to the steel I have now?

Pros/cons
Thanks

X sync 2/Eagle is for 12 speed. It’s no better, just for a different system.

I’ve never had an issue with durability from any of SRAMs rings from cheap to expensive, so pick the one that suits your budget.

I've run plenty of other branded chainrings with a 1x11 GX set-up.

Not sure what your BCD is but mine was 104.

These are currently on offer:

I've also used Uberbike, Superstar and Snail - all have worked perfectly well.

As Tom Howard said, the Eagle ring is for 12-speed chains. The tooth form is different. It will work on an 11-speed chain, but you won't get the same benefit and it won't be worth the extra money.
