Low friction. Durable. Competition-proven.
Want to get the most out of every pedal stroke? Then the waxed 12-speed chain from KMC is perfect for you. The special wax minimizes dirt adhesion and guarantees up to 1000 kilometers of quiet, clean riding without any further treatment. X-Bridge technology ensures precise and fast shifting – whether on rough trails or during fast sprints on the road. Thanks to its high-quality nickel plating, the chain is particularly resistant to rust and delivers consistently reliable performance.
Easy assembly. Full compatibility.
The included MissingLink connector makes installation a breeze – whether at home or on the go. This chain is compatible with all common 12-speed shifting systems from SRAM, Shimano, and Campagnolo (except SRAM Eagle Transmission T-Type and some road/gravel 12-speed systems).

Here's what we think about it
The original waxed X12 chain runs extremely quietly and keeps the drivetrain spotless, even on long rides. I never thought shifting could feel so precise and pleasant – a real upgrade for my bike.
Perfect for frequent drivers. After 800 kilometers off-road, there's hardly any wear and tear, and even in the rain, it barely gets dirty – it doesn't get any better than this.
Many users report significantly improved mileage and reduced maintenance.
The low frictional resistance creates a direct driving feel that is particularly impressive during sporty driving.
Thanks to MissingLink, chain replacement is quick and easy, even on the go. No more excuses for a worn chain.
