KMC X10L Chain
KMC's 10-speed X10L Chain has been updated from the previous model for more durability and smoother shifting, and it includes KMC's MissingLink connector for easy maintenance. KMC's X10L chain has hollow link pins and perforations on the inner and outer plates. These weight-saving reductions of excess material will save you about 70-80 grams over a typical 10-speed chain. The outer plates have chamfered inner surfaces to ensure smooth shifting from cog to cog. Additionally the Double-X bridge shape ensures fast, smooth shifting. The interstitial have been redesigned so that they shed mud up to 27% better than the previous iteration. The chain comes with a quick-connecting link for easy assembly and service. Its half-inch width allows compatibility with any 10-speed drivetrain system from Campagnolo, Shimano, or SRAM. It is also non-directional for fast and seamless installation. KMC's Gold version of the X10L employs a high-tech titanium-nitride coating. First, it increases the life of the chain by reducing stretch and increasing its surface hardness. Secondly, titanium nitride holds lube on its surface better, which means less maintenance work for you and an increase in service life for your chain.
