SRAM RED Chain 12-speed

The SRAM RED® 12-speed chain was developed from the ground up. The unique link shape allows the chain to be narrower and lighter while increasing strength and providing more space between the outer plates of the chain and the cogs on either side. Result: a quieter chain with faster, more precise shifts.

This chain was specifically optimized for the SRAM RED XG-1290 – 12-speed cassette and SRAM eTap AXS shifting components.

Features:

• Flattop™ technology enables a narrower chain with quieter operation and increased strength and durability
• Hard Chrome™ plated inner link plates and rollers for reduced wear and prolonged life
• HollowPin™ construction for increased strength and efficiency

 

Flattop™

To enable X-Range™ gearing technology, SRAM has developed a narrower chain. The unique link shape of Flattop™ technology not only allowed for a wider gear range, but also results in quieter drivetrain operation and increased chain strength and durability.

Compatibility: According to the manufacturer this chain can be used with SRAM XG-1270 / XG-1290 cassettes only.

Material: inner links: chrome plated steel

outer links: nickel plated steel

hollow pins: chrome hardened steel
