The KMC X12 DLC in Neo Chrome is the flagship 12-speed chain for riders who want maximum durability and a distinctive finish. Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) hardening dramatically extends chain life by increasing the hardness of the outer plates and pins — while the Neo Chrome coating delivers a head-turning iridescent shimmer.

  • DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating hardens the chain surface for exceptional wear resistance
  • Neo Chrome iridescent finish that shifts colour in the light
  • 12-speed compatible, 118 links, 1/2" x 11/128" pitch
  • Extended service life reduces replacement frequency for regular riders
  • Compatible with Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo 12-speed drivetrains

DLC coating is applied using a physical vapour deposition process, creating an extremely hard surface layer that resists the abrasive wear between chain and sprocket. The result is a chain that holds its dimensions longer than standard or even high-polish alternatives — particularly noticeable under hard training loads or in gritty conditions.

Fits 12-speed Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo drivetrains. 118 links, 1/2" x 11/128".
