Chain 12 Speed SRAM Red E1 Flattop Silver

SRAM's HollowPin construction is lighter and stronger than a solid pin, and cutouts in the outer and inner plates drop 13g from the previous generation. This results in a lighter, faster, stronger and more durable chain.

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
• Super-light outer and inner plates with cut-out design
• Requires new Flattop Powerlock (included)
• 13g lighter than previous RED chain
• Chain Connection Type: Single Use Master Link
• 114 Links
• Drivetrain Speeds: 12, 13
• Weight: 249g (at 114 link length)
• Colour: Silver

SRAM Technology

Deep Range™
Racers and their drivers are faster and more efficient than ever before. But the translation of our cars has not kept pace with this change. It has been limited by tradition. With the sole aim of improving the modern riding experience on the road, Sram has completely redesigned the road bike ratio. The new Deep Range technology. Not only does it offer more translation bandwidth, but this bandwidth is also better. It has “depth“: A smoother, more useful gear graduation. Intelligent shift settings, made possible by AXS™, bring the simplicity of a 1-speed drive to 2 speeds. So you always have the right gear and the translation is not in your way. Drive faster, more efficiently and more comfortably with Deep Range technology

Flattop™
To be able to offer deep range technology, SRAM had to develop a narrower chain. The unique joint shape of the Flattop technology not only enabled the this narrower chain, but also resulted in a quieter operation, increased strength and longevity.

Powerlock®
SRAM chain engineers developed PowerLock® as a tool free, sure, and consistent way to connect our chains. While PowerLock® does not require special tools for install, the especially tight tolerances of 10-, 11- and 12-speed drivetrains mandate that each PowerLock® is good for a one-time application only.

HollowPin™
SRAM employ HollowPin™ construction on all SRAM top of the line PowerChains. HP yields plate retention strength, front and rear shifting efficiency, and low weight benchmarks unreachable in solid pin chain applications.
