KMC E12 EPT Chain

KMC E12 chains are specially developed for use on e-bikes with higher torque and are extremely durable. 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. They are extremely lightweight, highly durable and very easy to fit using the MissingLink 12.

KMC’s EPT (EcoProTeq) technology protects the chain against rust and significantly increases its service life. The smoother surface of the EcoProTeq coating not only improves running performance but also gives the chain a high-quality finish.

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.

The chain locks (missing links) on the 12-speed chains allow for easy and secure installation. A standard chain tool is required to cut the KMC chains to the correct length. The new 12-speed missing links are not reusable.
