It might look normal from the outside, but the engineering inside this incredible new chain design that makes possible a gear range previously found only in 2-chainring drivetrains. & it's also the biggest contributor to the Eagle™ drivetrain's ultra-smooth, precise, durable & quiet performance. The Eagle™ chain's links have a smooth radius, with no sharp edges or chamfers, which yield a significant reduction in noise, friction & wear on chainrings & cassette cogs. This design also allows for a flatter plate, which means more consistent chain riveting & greater overall strength. HARD CHROME™ technology extends the chain's optimal performance life, & a Titanium Nitride coating on the Gold & Black models decreases corrosion & further reduces friction. Compatible with SRAM 12-speed MTB groupsets.
Features: Groundbreaking new chain design & technology The Eagle™ chain has been completely re-engineered, & is produced with new manufacturing technology All-new Eagle™ Power Lock® chain connector with FLOWLINK™ technology provides better chain-guiding & increased longevity The XX1 Eagle™ chain is the quietest, strongest & most wear-resistant chain in the world Unique features & design also provide significantly enhanced wear resistance on Eagle™ cassettes & rings
