SRAM XX1 Eagle PowerLock ChainFeaturing a completely re-engineered design, this mountain bike (MTB) chain is produced with updated manufacturing technology to ensure a smooth and consistent power transfer on the most demanding of terrain conditions. Thanks to its groundbreaking chain design and technologies, this model is well-equipped for wherever your next ride takes you. Coming kitted out with a special chrome hardened pin treatment for maximum strength and durability, FlowLink technology and a PowerLock connector, this is a great choice of upgrade for dependable performance on your mountain bike. Prepared for all-day epics on your favourite MTB trails as well as day-long adventures exploring, this 12 speed Eagle chain is engineered for every ride.The strongest system is a chain with no weak links. Eagle chain links have a smooth radius, with no sharp edges or chamfers, which yield a significant reduction in noise, friction and wear. This design also allows for a flatter plate, which means more consistent chain riveting and greater overall strength. And it’s also the biggest contributor to the ultra-smooth, precise, durable and quiet performance found in the 10-50 tooth cassette and X-SYNC 2 chainrings. Installation is made easy with a dedicated 12-speed Eagle quick link.Hard ChromeThe SRAM Hard Chrome chain has four times the elongation (wear) resistance to the brand’s other chains. This is due to the new finishing process on the inner links and rollers. Push pin strength and ultimate strength are equivalent to SRAM’s current chains. The Hard Chrome chain lasts longer and is just as strong.PowerlockSRAM chain engineers developed PowerLock as a tool free, sure, and consistent way to connect its chains. While PowerLock does not require special tools for installation, the especially tight tolerances of 12 speed drivetrains mandate that each PowerLock is good for a one-time application only.Features: Pin Treatment: Chrome Hardened Inner/Outer Link Finish: Chrome plated +PVD Use: Mountain Bike (MTB) Chain Length (Links): 126 links Compatible Speed: 12 speed Eagle Chain Connector: PowerLock Pin Variant: Hollow Pin Flowlink technologyTechnologies: Groundbreaking new chain design and technology. The Eagle chain has been completely re-engineered, and is produced with new manufacturing technology. All-new Eagle Power Lock chain connector with FLOWLINK technology provides better chain-guiding and increased longevity. The Eagle chain is classed by SRAM as the quietest, strongest and most wear-resistant chain in the world. Unique features and design also provide significantly improved wear resistance on Eagle cassettes and rings.Manufacturer’s Part Number:00.2518.039.010Buy SRAM Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
