SRAM's strongest Rival chain, and made it lighter. Cutouts on the outer links of the Flattop chain shed weight, while the Hard Chrome finish adds durability as you power through shifts. This chain is ready to go the distance. Model ID: CN-RIV-E1

FEATURES:

• Flattop technology allows for a narrower chain with quieter operation, and increased strength, and durability
• Compatible with 12-speed road and 13-speed XPLR AXS dropbar groupsets
• Hard Chrome-plated inner link plates for reduced wear and prolonged life
• Cut-outs in SRAM's link plates for weight reduction
• Includes Flattop PowerLock

TECHNOLOGY

HARD CHROME: The SRAM HARD CHROME chain has four times the elongation (wear) resistance of SRAM's other chains. This is due to the new finishing process on the inner links and rollers. Push pin strength and ultimate strength are equivalent to SRAM's current chains. The HARD CHROME chain lasts longer and is just as strong.

POWERLOCK: SRAM chain engineering developed PowerLock as a tool- free, sure, and consistent way to connect SRAM chains. While PL does not require special tools for installation, the tight tolerances of 10- and 11-speed drivetrains mandate that each PowerLink be used only once.

Flattop: To enable X-Range gearing technology, we developed a narrower chain. The unique link shape of Flattop technology not only allows for a wider gear range but also results in quieter drivetrain operation and increased chain strength and durability.
