Each advancement demands that the entire package works flawlessly. Aggressive trail and enduro riders have been increasingly enjoying the benefits of larger wheels, but many still view 27.5&#8243; and 29&#8243; wheels as a possible weak link. Which is why SRAM has developed an open standard with Boost compatible components for SRAM drivetrain, hubs and RockShox forks.<\/p>\n<p>For a long time now, SRAM had been looking for a way to open up more room around the crankset for frame designers to further optimise their bikes. SRAM 1x\u2122 was the first step in this direction by eliminating the need for a front derailleur. However, SRAM also had hopes to move the chainline outboard as well. It wasn\u2019t until an OE came to us with a similar goal that we were able to realise this hope.<\/p>\n<p>Boost is a new wheel and drivetrain specification that provides:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Increased wheel stiffness and durability<\/li>\n<li>Better riding efficiency and bike handling precision<\/li>\n<li>Improved frame geometry with shorter chain stays<\/li>\n<li>Wider and stiffer suspension pivots<\/li>\n<li>Wider range of chainring options<\/li>\n<li>More clearance for bigger tires<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Boost is designed to be a complete system so it does not affect drivetrain performance.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Drivetrain<\/h2>\n<p>\u2028The Boost system\u2019s crankset utilizes front chainrings that sit a corresponding 3mm outward to ensure the required chainline, but Q-factor is completely unaffected. A major benefit to the repositioned chainring is increased clearance, which allows \u2028more options for tire choice and rear-end designs.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-66455800-1426694661.jpg\" data-fileid=\"502458\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"502458\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-66455800-1426694661.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-66455800-1426694661.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Boost technology can be available at the following premium and performance levels (24mm spindle only).<\/p>\n<p>Boost cranks can only be used when paired with a 148mm hub.
