Sram XX1 EAGLE MTB Bicycle Chain

It may look ordinary from the outside, but the engineering inside this incredible new chain design makes possible a gear range previously only found in dual-ring drivetrains.. And is this also the biggest contribution to the Eagle transmission's super-smooth, precise, durable and quiet operation?. Eagle chain links? have a smooth radius, without sharp edges or chamfers, which provides a significant reduction in noise, friction and wear on the stars and cassettes. This design also allows for a flatter plate, meaning more uniform chain riveting and greater overall strength.. HARD CHROME technology? extends optimum chain life, while the titanium nitride coating on Gold and Black models reduces corrosion and further reduces friction. Peculiarities: - Innovative new chain design and technology - Eagle chain? has been completely redesigned and is produced using new production technology - Brand new Eagle chain connector? PowerLock® with FLOWLINK? The technology provides better chain guidance and increases service life - XX1 Eagle chain? is the quietest, strongest and most wear-resistant chain in the world - The unique features and design also provide significantly improved wear resistance for Eagle cassettes and rings? Specifications: - Main technological features: FLOWLINK?, HARD CHROME?, POWERLOCK®, X-SYNC? - Compatible Eagle gears? Only cassette 10-50t - Closing link: Eagle? PowerLock® PVD - Outer plate: nickel + PVD gold or black - Inner plate: chrome plated + PVD gold or black - Pin processing: chrome hardened, hollow pin? - Speeds: 12 - Compatibility: Eagle? Technology: Flow Link: - Ultra-smooth internal chain plates are completely free of square edges, resulting in the chain engaging the cassette and sprocket with much less friction, for quieter operation and better service life. The design allows for a narrower overall profile that can handle larger angles and also allows for a flatter outer plate, meaning more uniform chain riveting and increased overall strength. HARD CHROME?: - SRAM HARD CHROME chain? has four times greater resistance to elongation (wear and tear), than our other chains. This is due to a new finishing process for the inner links and rollers.. The strength and ultimate strength of the push pin are equivalent to our current chains. HARD CHROME chain? lasts longer and is just as durable. PowerLock®: - SRAM chain engineers developed PowerLock® as a reliable, consistent way to connect our chains without tools.. While no special tools are required to install PowerLock®, the particularly tight tolerances of 10-, 11- and 12-speed transmissions require that each PowerLock® be suitable for one-time use only. XSYNC?: - SRAM X-SYNC sprockets? 1x provide the highest level of performance and durability. SRAM X-SYNC's tall square teeth? engage the chain earlier than traditional triangular teeth. The sharp and narrow tooth profile and rounded chamfers help to cope with chain sag. To ensure the best performance in muddy conditions, X-SYNC? The chain rings have been designed with recesses to clear dirt from the inner chain links and rollers.. Designed in Germany, X-SYNC rings? are an integral part of the SRAM 1x drivetrain?.
