Built with a more robust surface than most chains, this particular model is finished with a Diamond Like Coating (DLC) to reduce wear & abrasions while adding longevity to every link. Featuring KMC's bespoke Triple X Durability, your chain & overall performance benefits from a longer life, while the mud-shedding properties give a clean & mess-free experience, no matter how rowdy your ride gets. Ideal for use with 29ers & roadies alike, this hard-working chain won't let you down.
