Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- This KMC chain is very durable because of the nickel-plated links and the use of harder materials than those used by most manufacturers.
- The recesses make this chain even lighter than KMC chains without recesses.
- This chain ensures excellent shifting performance in all conditions.
- This chain maintains its level of performance even if you use different cassettes, such as on a different wheel or a turbo trainer, for example.
- This chain is available in awesome colours!
- Due to the use of harder material, this chain makes more noise during cycling than the original model.

Durability and shifting performance
KMC chains are known for their durability and excellent shifting performance. The links of this chain are nickel-plated, making it last longer than chains from other manufacturers. Also, this chain is chamfered with high precision to maximise shifting properties.
Extra Light version
The KMC X11EL (Extra Light) 11-speed chain has chamfered inner and outer plates to reduce weight; with this chain, you're not hauling a gram too many on your ride!
Compatible with all gear groups
The KMC X11EL 11-speed road and mountain bike chain can be used with Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo gear groups. It comes with a missing link for easy mounting and dismounting.
• To adjust the length of the chain, you need a chain breaker (chain rivet tool). These can be found here.
• To close the missing link, you need missing link pliers. These can be found here.
• A chain checker (chain wear indicator tool) allows you to see to which extent your chain is worn out, so you can replace it in due time. Chain checkers can be found here.

Worse than expected
- Joost 5 June 2026
I combined the chain with a Shimano XT cassette, but especially in the beginning I was not so satisfied with it. The chain makes more noise and shifting is not as smooth as I am used to with a Shimano chain. After a while, this does get better once the chain has been run in more.

looks nice
does not shift super

Sturdy, lightweight chain, at a wonderfully low price that is easy to install.
- Eric 1 June 2026
This involves a chain that fits an 11-speed shimano group, which is nice and light, cheap, sturdy and easy to install. The included quicklink does the magic here. The chain is also pre-lubricated, which is great on one hand, but makes installation with bare hands a slippery task.
Pros & Cons
Easy to install
Light
Pre-lubricated
Premium quality at a low price
