According to the product specialist

Pros
The SRAM RED AXS E1 chain is a high-end, lightweight chain, which runs quietly and has increased strength and durability.
The hard-chromed inner links increase the lifespan of your chain.
The cut-out design on the inner and outer panels means you'll save up to 13 grams with this chain, compared to SRAM's last RED chain.
Comes pre-waxed, so you can put it straight onto your bike!
Wax lengthens the lifespan of your chain and your entire drivetrain.
Nickel-plated links make this chain very durable.
Compatible with SRAM and Shimano 12-speed systems.
The precise X-Serie finish of the links ensures the chain shifts gears smoothly.
The flat-top design increases chain strength, ensuring consistent and reliable shifting action.
A waxed chain reduces friction for maximum drivetrain efficiency!
The wax layer better resists dirt adhesion, so wear is minimal and the chain stays nice and clean.
Because this chain is made specifically for 12/13-speed SRAM AXS groups, shifting is very smooth.
Cons
This chain is only available for 12 speed SRAM race groupsets.
This chain is nickel-plated, which means it makes more noise while you're cycling than an regular chain.
Not suitable as a replacement for SRAM Flat-top chains.
The wax coating requires extra attention and re-coating with heavy use but this does extend the chain's life.
