Worn out quickly, but this was in tough conditions, so I'll give this type of chain another chance.

- Arjen, 28 February, 2024

Worn out after 950km. This was in very wet and muddy conditions in winter 2023/2024. After every ride, I clean the chain and sprockets and give the chain a fresh coat of lubricant. In drier conditions, I still hope to get a few thousand kilometres with this chain.

Pros & Cons

Easy fitting due to quick link
Quickly wears out in wet conditions

Fine original chain

- Jorn, 12 February, 2024

Fine original chain. Sram Eagle requires precise adjustment but then runs nicely. Lasts quite long despite riding through rain, mud and sand (2000+km).

Pros & Cons

Black and silver looks quite sleek
Original
Runs beautifully
Sustainable

Wears off quickly

- Michel, 28 November, 2023

After a few mud rides, the 0.5 mark on the chain gauge was already falling between the links. Wears noticeably faster than its more expensive brothers the X01 and XX1. Next time I'll go back for the X01 chain.

Pros & Cons

Fast delivery as we are used to from Mantel

Less durable than the X01 and XX1

Nice shifting chain at a nice price

- Rob, 27 September, 2023

Old NX chain needed replacing and immediately took the GX as I also have that groupset. Didn't think I would notice much difference but nothing could be further from the truth. Chain shifts better and is quieter. Weight is negligible. TIP. Order some extra PowerLock® locking links and stick one under your saddle. You never know.

Easy to mount
Switches like a charm

- Marco, 22 May, 2022

I change it every 1500/1600 km on my ebike using it on demanding off-road routes, I had tried other specific x ebike chains that cost twice as much but the durability in the end is identical. In the cost of the ebike specific chain alone with this I replace chain and sprocket and always have a performing transmission.

Good performance in relation to price

- Marcus, 15 August, 2021

The GX variant has good performance and acceptable weight in relation to the price. The chain is after all a wearing part so this feels reasonably priced. I try to clean the chain every week and lubricate only with Squirt lube or Muc off dry lube that does not attract so much dirt. Run about 900-1000 km 100 XC on each chain before it is discarded.

Affordable

In for the short run

- James, 4 January, 2021

The SRAM GX chain is not worth the monies as it wears quickly and destroys the cassette. Rather go for the XO or XX1. I have 3 GX chains which I swap after each ride in order not to wear the cassette and chainring too quickly. This is no way reflects on mantel as their service was great and timeous.

A chain that makes your wheel spin!

- Peter, 15 October, 2020

"sarcasm mode on" a review about a necklace? Well, this necklace is absolutely fantastic, you might not expect it, but it consists of individual links and you get a real quick link on top ... highly recommended if you ask me! If you pedal hard enough, your rear wheel will spin... "sarcasm mode off" :-)
