KMC has combined the outstanding running properties of the X series with weight optimization in the SL variant. Openwork inner and outer tabs and hollow rivets save the last gram without affecting performance in the slightest.
In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses for this product.
X-Bridge Precisely chamfered outer link plates with precisely defined angles enable quick and precise switching operations.
Super light Openwork inner and outer plates and hollow rivets are KMC's way of getting the last gram out of your premium chains. The KMC X11SL weighs just 225 grams with 110 links. This makes it currently the lightest 11-speed chain.
Nickel Plated Nickel is an alloy metal that is mainly used for steel finishing. It makes steel corrosion-resistant, increases its hardness and toughness and is very effective as a rust protection.
Ti-N Titanium nitride is a chemical compound of the elements titanium and nitrogen. The ceramic material, which is typically golden-yellow in color, is characterized by its very high hardness and corrosion resistance. The special titanium nitride coating from KMC not only looks fantastic, it also has an ultra-smooth surface and is extremely durable.
