e*thirteen Helix Race e*spec Direct Mount Chainring for Bosch CX/SX - 32T, 13mm Offset, Black

The e*thirteen Helix Race e*spec Direct Mount Chainring merges cutting-edge engineering with a refined technical aesthetic, delivering the ultimate drivetrain performance upgrade for modern electric mountain bikes (e-MTBs). Forged and precision CNC-machined from premium 7075-T6 aluminum, this one-piece direct mount chainring is purpose-built to handle the high-torque loads of aggressive e-bike riding. When paired with Helix Race Alloy e*spec crank arms, it creates a clean, fully integrated look that significantly enhances both the strength and style of your motor system assembly.

This Bosch-specific version features a 13mm offset, meticulously calculated to deliver precise, friction-free chainline optimization depending on your specific Bosch motor generation. For Bosch CX Gen 4 and lightweight Bosch SX motor systems, it yields an agile 53mm chainline. When mounted to the latest high-performance Bosch CX Gen 5 motors, it transitions perfectly to a wider 55mm chainline. This accurate offset prevents premature drivetrain wear, minimizes friction, and guarantees smooth shifting performance across the entire gear range of wide-ratio cassettes.

Drivetrain security is managed by e*thirteen's updated M4 narrow-wide tooth profile. This advanced long-wearing shape features enhanced tooth geometry that locks the chain securely in place over punishing, high-speed trail chatter, eliminating the absolute need for a heavy chain guide. Furthermore, the M4 profile offers comprehensive cross-compatibility with Shimano, SRAM, and TRP 11 and 12-speed drivetrains—including seamless operation on premium SRAM T-Type Transmission systems, allowing you to run your preferred shifter and cassette setup without compromise.

Weighing a feathery 99g, this 32T chainring balances weight-saving performance with structural stiffness to prevent flexing under hard, out-of-the-saddle efforts. Finished in a durable, stealthy black anodized coating that protects the alloy against rock-strike abrasions and elements, it delivers maximum wear life and long-term reliability. The Helix Race e*spec chainring is compatible with all matching Bosch direct mount motor systems and is backed by e*thirteen's dependable 5-year manufacturer warranty.
