SRAM's Flat-Top chains are specifically designed for modern 12/13-speed drivetrains and are characterised by their distinctive flat top profile. This design allows for a narrower chain while still providing high strength and durability.Flat-Top chains are exclusively compatible with SRAM's 12-speed AXS drivetrains or Transmission/T-Type. They are not compatible with other 12-speed systems or older SRAM groups.KMC GO Wax BenefitsLong lasting: Once applied, the wax dries to form a protective barrier that outlasts oil based productsLess dirt: Waxed chains attract less dirt, minimising the common causes of wear and ensures a smooth operation at all timesBiodegradable: Free from PFAS and harsh solventsEasy to use: Easy to apply and the chain does not need to be dewaxed before rewaxing.Silver Nickel-Plated CoatingNickel is an alloying metal primarily used for refining steel. With corrosion resistance, enhanced hardness, and proves highly effective as rust protection.Gold Ti-N CoatingTitanium nitride is a chemical compound of titanium and nitrogen. Offering extreme hardness and corrosion resistance. This special coating has an ultra-smooth surface, and is extremely durable against the elements.1/2" X 11/128"126 LinksWaxed with KMC GOLow weight due to slotted inner and outer plates and hollow pinsMissing links includedCompatible with all SRAM 12-/13-speed derailleur systems using flat-top chainsWeight per 110L: 230 gramsRecommended Care intervalsRoad Bikes: KMC recommend to care for your KMC Waxed at the latest after 250 km or at least once a month.MTB, cross and frequent riders in all weather conditions: After 100 km at the latest.RewaxingThe chain must be dry before applying the waxThe chain does not need to be dewaxedShake the bottle and apply to the inside of the chain (One complete turn)Do not wipe off excess wax.Allow to dry completely before riding, especially in wet conditions
