Chains

It might look normal from the outside, but the engineering inside this incredible new 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, and a Titanium Nitride coating on the Gold and Black models decreases corrosion and further reduces friction.

With Eagle Transmission being the first of its kind, fully integrated and interdependent system, the X0 Eagle Transmission (T-Type) Flattop Chain is so much more than just a chain. Its unique flat top design makes it the strongest chain SRAM has ever made. It features a Dark Polar finish specific to X0, has been plated with electroless nickel, and comes with a PVD coating for unbelievable resistance to corrosion and wear. - Specifically engineered for Eagle Transmission - Flattop profile, unbelievable shifting performance, game-changing aesthetics - Electroless Nickel plating for optimal corrosion and wear resistance with PVD coating - Includes PowerLock connector - Fully approved for E-MTB use with solid pins.

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
