Sram Red Chain E1 with Powerlock 114 Links 12/13 Speed

Effortless performance. Effortless perfection.

SRAM took the lightest and most durable chain they have ever made and made it lighter. With no compromises. The HollowPin construction is lighter and stronger than a solid pin, and cutouts in the outer and inner plates drop 13 g from the previous generation. This results in a lighter, faster, stronger and more durable chain.

Features of SRAM RED Chain:

• Hard Chrome plated inner link plates and rollers for reduced wear and prolonged life
• HollowPin construction for increased strength and efficiency
• Super-light outer and inner plates with cut-out design

Flattop™

In order to realize the larger ratio range of X-RANGE™ cassettes and to allow correspondingly smoother, smaller-step gear changes, it requires a narrower chain. To ensure that durability does not suffer, SRAM has added material to the flat side of the outer plates and hard-chrome plated the rivets, inner plates and bushings. This way, the Flattop™ chains not only outperform the 11-speed models in terms of durability, but are also at least as efficient.
