Whether you're clocking up the miles on your road bike or shredding the mountain bike trails, this chain is built for maximum performance. It features a durable nickel-plated steel construction, which makes it more than capable of handling the increased torque levels from road-racing events & all-day epics in the mountains. Miche has also put this durable chain through a heat-treatment process, which adds an extra level of robustness to its already rock-solid construction. This is a perfect choice of upgrade for riders who want a tough chain for intense rides.
