1x big ring setup

Equipment
1

Hi all,
Looking for suggestions for shimano/asymmetric 1x big rings. I have a GRX crank. In particular, I want a 50t, but grx doesnt get that big. Any idea of third party rings that are shimano compatible? I saw one by rotor, but havent come across many others that large (48t+). I ride on pretty flat roads.

Link me to a different thread if there is enough overlap. Couldnt find a good match.
Thanks

I have a Rotor oval chain ring on my mountain bike (with an XTR M9000 crankset). The quality is XTR-/DuraAce-level, I don’t think you can go wrong with them. They are beautifully machined, and Rotor was thoughtful enough to throw in some bits for the crank for free. (It is the metal bits that you screw your chainring retention screws in. The XTR ones are super fiddly and annoying.)

This one should be compatible with your crankset if they feature a 110 mm BCD, and they come in sizes up to 52 teeth.

Not sure if you have Shimano road cranks, but Wolftooth makes a 50t 1x ring for them.

Garbaruk will do a GRX compatable ring up to 52T. Looks like they have round and oval.

Another +1 for Rotor, I have a full crankset on both my road (2x) and gravel (1x) bikes. Quality is superb.
Seems like you can get to 54T, and they also do oval (not sure if that’s what you mean by “asymmetric”)
