KMC X11 SL Ti-Ni Chain

The lightest road bike chain for 11-speed drivetrains from KMC. Hollow chain pins and milled outer plates, along with easy installation and cleaning using the reusable fastener included in the delivery, are the hallmarks of this chain. The KMC titanium nitride coating not only gives the chain an elegant appearance; TiN is one of the hardest surface treatments in the industrial sector. The surface is extremely low-friction and very easy to maintain. This makes these chains the recommended choice for extremely durable, efficient and smooth-running drivetrains

In a complex process, the plates of the SL chains are milled out and riveted with hollow pins. This achieves a significant weight saving without compromising stability or service life. KMC chains feature a very slim design, known as ‘lean construction’. In addition to reduced weight, this design ensures exceptionally smooth running and fewer instances of the chain jamming. The Double X-Durability treatment refers to a process in which all parts of the chain are specially hardened. This treatment makes the pins, in particular, highly resistant to dust and sand, thereby extending their service life enormously. KMC X11 chains perform excellently on Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo 11-speed systems. They are extremely lightweight, incredibly durable and very easy to fit with the MissingLink 11. The chain connectors, Missing Links, on the 11-speed chains enable simple and secure fitting. A standard chain tool is required to cut the KMC chains to the correct length. The new 11-speed Missing Links are reusable.
