SRAM Red D1 12-Speed Chain

The brand - new SRAM RED® chain has been completely redesigned. Its special link shape makes the chain not only narrower and lighter but also stronger. There's more space between the chain's outer plates and the cogs on both sides, resulting in a quieter chain with quicker and more accurate shifts. Flattop technology enables a slimmer chain that runs quietly, with enhanced strength and durability. The inner link plates and rollers are hard chrome - plated to reduce wear and extend the chain's lifespan. The HollowPin construction boosts strength and efficiency. This chain requires a new Flattop Powerlock. Specification: Chain length is 114 links, with a PowerLock chain connector. The inner link has a chrome - plated finish, while the outer link is nickel - finished. It features a Hollow Pin variant with chrome - hardened pins.

Using this SRAM Red D1 12 - Speed Chain is easy. First, make sure your bike is suitable for a 12 - speed chain and has a compatible PowerLock connector. Install the chain carefully following the standard bike chain installation process. When riding, you'll notice the smooth and quiet shifting right away. As for maintenance, it's a good idea to clean the chain regularly with a mild bike cleaner. After cleaning, dry it thoroughly and apply a high - quality bike chain lubricant. Check the chain's wear periodically. If it shows excessive wear, it's time to replace it. Remember, always use the recommended Flattop Powerlock for proper installation and performance.
