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.

Specifications

Material: inner links: chrome plated steel

Outer links: nickel plated steel

Hollow pins: chrome hardened steel

Fitting for derailleur: 12-speed SRAM

Hot melt wax is the ultimate in chain maintenance.  Factory grease is very sticky and attracts dust and grim that shortens chain life.  Once the factory grease is stripped clean of the chain and replaced with hot melt wax you're left with an incredibly clean chain that will last up to 25,000km.

Hot melt chain waxing saves money on chains and cassettes, keeps your bike cleaner and looking amazing and is also 8w faster!

What you Need

• Upto 3 bike chains of your choice to suit SRAM 12-speed drivetrains
• Ultrasonic Clean of your chain to remove factory grease
• Chains is pre-waxed with Silca Secret Chain Blend Hot Melt Wax
• 500g of Silca Secret Chain Blend Hot Melt Wax for re-waxing at home
• Silca Super Secret Chain Drip Wax for application between hot melt re-dipping

Optional Tools

• Shimano Joining Link Pliers to connect and remove the joining link easily
• Shimano Chain Wear Indicator to keep track of your chain wear
• Shimano Chain Cutter to cut the chain to the correct length on your bike

What you need at home

• Old Kettle to clean the chain with boiling water
• Small slow cooker or old pot to slow heat the wax
