SRAM’s Force E1 chain is lighter, stronger and more durable than before, and its Flattop link shape runs quietly and lasts. It suits 12-speed road and 13-speed XPLR gravel drivetrains. This is the 126-link version in silver.

Highlights

• Flattop link shape: narrower, quieter, stronger and more durable
• Hard Chrome plated inner link plates and rollers for less wear
• Cut-outs in inner and outer plates save weight
• Flattop PowerLock connector included
• For 12-speed road and 13-speed XPLR drop-bar groups
• eBike approved

Why Flattop

SRAM developed the narrower Flattop chain to make X-Range gearing possible. The link shape also makes the drivetrain quieter and the chain stronger and more durable.

Hard Chrome

SRAM says its Hard Chrome chains have four times the elongation (wear) resistance of its other chains, thanks to the finishing process on the inner links and rollers, with the same push-pin and ultimate strength.

Compatibility and fit

For SRAM drop-bar drivetrains that use a Flattop chain: 12-speed road (D1/E1) and 13-speed XPLR. Check your groupset’s chain specification before ordering. Cut it to length for your chainring, cassette and frame using SRAM’s sizing instructions, and join it with the supplied PowerLock.
