Top necklace at a great price
Last chain took the standard X. That one is clearly a step down in all respects anyway. This one runs nicely, looks good and is lighter. From now on the EL

Bling bling, a very good necklace.
Just a good chain. Runs and shifts smoothly. At least as good quality as Shimano chains.

The perfect chain (in combination with T9)
Purchased this chain for the 3rd time . The previous chains ran 5000 km must say I use T9 as lubrication (recommend 2). In short, this combination ensures a long life !

Bang on!

In my opinion the best chains out there!
KMC makes the best chains super smooth and long lasting using squirt lube!

Top price/quality
Every 3000 km I order a new one. Never any problems in between. Gears don't get worn that way either

This chain makes my bike so much more special !!!
The gold chain from KMC really completes my matte black Canyon Stealth Ultimate together with the Schwalbe tires with the yellow sidewalls, The eye wants something too !

Good value for money
After using different brand-types of chains, I stuck with the X11EL. As far as I'm concerned, a good balance of price and quality. The chain lasts a long time, runs quietly and is easy to keep clean

just fine chain
I have always used this chain on various mtb's. It lasts longer than a shimano chain. Just clean and dry and a few drops of squirt over it and your chain will last a long time.

Used in replacement of shimano chain. Already used on other bike, chain is appreciated for smoothness and quietness even after miles of use.

Runs smoothly
Bought first because of the nicer color than the shimano variant. I have now started using my second one. Runs nice and smooth with squirt lube and is good and nice to keep clean. Very easy to mount and dismount with the MissingLink, super with maintenance.

Great wear-resistant chain, and looks great on my BMC.
Fine chain that makes itself audible at first, but is super quiet after running it in. This chain is as described by Mantel unprecedented wear resistance. Very happy with it.

Can't say anything meaningful yet.
Although the description suggests otherwise, You must also degrease this chain before waxing it. And yes you can judge a chain only after the necessary miles.

Very good chain
The KMC chain is always very good. I did find that the SL is more durable than the EL.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Super quality, beautiful and hard-wearing.
I've been using the EL for several years now, and it's great. It's stronger and quieter than the SL, which is lighter but more expensive.

Good laternative for Campagnolo original
I am a real Campagnolo fan, until now I always rode with the original Campa chains in combination with Chorus cassettes. And yes, the way that Campa chain should be mounted is technically the nicest solution. But the KMC solution, with the "missing link" is many times simpler and really just as good. Now I have to experience the durability of this chain....

good product
I am very happy with the chain. I always use Squirt wax and the the chain is still decent after 7k km. The chain is expensive, not compared to similiar products, but in general, as all bike parts. The bike industry forgot that cycling is for everyone

Good quality strong chain
My go to chain with a strong quick link, the 12 speed makes it quite tight to fit compared to 10 speed but a little pressure on the cranks gets it to span in nicely. Long lasting no fuss chain which can be fitted in either direction .

Beautiful and durable
I've been using it for several years at a rate of 2 to 3 chains for 12,000 to 15,000 kms a year.

Durable and low maintenance
Matches the colors of my bike nicely. This chain lasts much longer than the shimano chain from Ultegra. With water and dreft your chain is back like new.

Rigid thing and expensive too
After 4000 km I had renewed my drivetrain. Front and rear new sprockets. And I still had a new KMC X11 lying around. Too expensive to throw away. After a week I replaced it with a SRAM PC1130. The KMC is a stiff chain that can only lie straight. When the chain is at an angle (as it often is with a derailleur) you can feel every link creaking.
