KMC X12 Ti-N Chain

The KMC titanium nitride coating 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 an extremely durable, efficient and smooth-running drivetrain.

The second generation of KMC 12-speed chains has been thoroughly revised, taking into account all market developments, to ensure that the X12, e12 and DLC12 chains remain compatible with the gear systems from SRAM, Shimano, Campagnolo and other manufacturers. Due to the rapid development in the e-bike segment, we have fitted the DLC12 chains with reinforced pins to ensure they are approved for use on electric bikes.

KMC chains feature a very slim design, known as ‘lean construction’. In addition to being lighter, this design offers exceptionally smooth running and fewer instances of the chain jamming. The Double X-Durability treatment is 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 and significantly extends the chain’s service life. Compatible with SRAM 12-speed gear systems. They are extremely lightweight, highly durable and very easy to fit using the MissingLink 12. The chain connectors, Missing Links, for 12-speed chains enable simple and secure installation of the chains. A standard chain tool is required to shorten the KMC chains to the correct length. The new 12-speed Missing Links are not reusable.
