I have been using Kmc chains for many years, I have always been happy with them, never a breakage or a problem, the durability is also not bad, as long as maintenance is done regularly, the chain is also very quiet.

Super product

- Rene, 4 December, 2021

Quality product from KMC. THE preservation from the factory sticks tremendously. I would not ride this outside, picking up dirt is a big risk for rapid wear. Personally, I clean all my chains and give them a paraffin with ptfe bath before use. I ride about 500 km with a chain and then change for a fresh one. My experience with these chains is that I do about 10,000 km with no significant wear. My cassette and chain blades also hardly wear out.

Pros & Cons

Nice and light
Conservation factory sticks

Visually and technically super chain! 100% satisfied.

- Martin, 16 August, 2021

Trek Madone RSL Di2 9100 Fits the Di2 perfectly, I am 100% satisfied. The front derailleur shifts better. I have no noises except when crosschaining, but I also had that with the Dura Ace. It is said that because of the holes in the outer and inner plates, the front derailleur tends to stretch a little faster. But it has less weight. I was sceptical at first, but I am very satisfied with this chain.

Goooolden!!

- Mihai, 6 April, 2021

My chain shows signs of wear after less than 4000 km (road bike). The previous was a regular KMC X11 - 10 euro cheaper and I had to change it after 4500 km.

- Luc, 30 August, 2020

This chain was on my Giant bike, after 8000 km still relatively little "stretch" on the chain but replaced preventively anyway. On my 2nd bike is the EL version of this chain which lasts 3000 to 3500 km at most.

Great chain, better service

- Ed, 27 August, 2020

Great quality chain and works perfectly on my Potenza 11spd groupset, feels like a new bike. I initially order the wrong chain and Mantel were very helpful indeed.

Pros & Cons

Looks great
Runs smooth & quiet
Shame it’s £5+ more than the silver.

5 / 5

Quiet and precise

- JOSE LUIS, 12 August, 2020

With a durace cassette the shifting is precise and quiet. With the derailleur set correctly, you can only hear the tyres when riding. It's a pleasure to ride.
