The craze for 12-speed drivetrain systems is sweeping through the bicycle market, and in response KMC is debuting a new 12-speed chain built with industry leading technology that has already won a prize at Taipei Cycle show's 2017 d&i awards and set a new milestone for the art of bicycle chains.
KMC’s 12-speed chain features a comprehensive X-Bridge on the inner wall of all chain plates; the narrow design adapts precisely to the limited gear space while improving functionality in spite of the extreme cross chaining inherent to 1x drivetrains.

Optimal asymmetrical chamfering is strategically placed on outer plates to avoid chain and cassette teeth interference. Additionally, the upgraded bevel chamfering on the inside edges of all plates enable a smooth gear tooth insertion and an efficient interface between chain and cog. As a result,l riding safety and stability is drastically improved.
