Chains

It might look normal from the outside, but the engineering inside this incredible chain design is anything but normal, and it makes possible a gear range previously found only in 2-chainring drivetrains. And it’s also the biggest contributor to the Eagle drivetrain’s ultra-smooth, precise, durable and quiet performance. The Eagle chain’s links have a smooth radius, with no sharp edges or chamfers, which yield a significant reduction in noise, friction and wear on chainrings and cassette cogs. This design also allows for a flatter plate, which means more consistent chain riveting and greater overall strength. HARD CHROME technology extends the chain’s optimal performance life.

With SRAM's X1 Chain, it's 1x11 all the time, so the chain can be narrower, stronger, faster — all because it doesn't have to deal with high-stress, front chainring shifting. Since it only has to do rear shifts, gear changes are telepathically fast and feathery light. Its "wide tooth, narrow tooth" pattern perfectly matches SRAM's X-Sync chainrings so dropped chains and cumbersome chainguides are a distant memory. The durability is impressive, too, with SRAM's Hard Chrome tech, solid pins and a proprietary link finish for improved life span.

Specifically engineered to optimize Eagle Transmission, the XX SL Eagle Transmission Flattop Chain features a unique flat top. Not only does this shape maximize shifting performance and robustness, but it also contemporizes the look of your super bike, especially with its outer plate cut outs and hollow pins that push the strength-to-weight ratio to an unprecedented level. - Not suitable for E-MTB - Flattop design specifically engineered for Eagle Transmission - Ultimate shifting performance, game-changing aesthetics - Super-light outer plates with cut-out design - Includes PowerLock connector

The first thing to know about the XX Eagle Transmission chain is that it’s one of the strongest SRAM has ever made. Specifically engineered to optimize Eagle Transmission, this all-new T-Type design features a unique flat top shape that maximizes shifting performance. The chain features a hollow pin design and is finished in a long-wearing, high durability chrome - Long-wearing hard chrome finish - Smooth shift bottom profile for ultimate shifting performance - Hollow pins save precious grams of weight - Includes PowerLock connector
