Taking into account the specific properties of the drive systems from Shimano, SRAM or Campagnolo, KMC has developed a series that meets the highest demands. Manufactured with extreme precision, the dynamically chamfered edges of the tabs ensure perfect switching behavior and maximum smoothness.
In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses for this product.
X-Bridge Precisely chamfered outer link plates with precisely defined angles enable quick and precise switching operations.
EPT The latest milestone from KMC in rust protection. The non-toxic EcoProTeQ treatment doubles the rust resistance compared to KMC's RB anti-rust treatment. The advantages of the very smooth coating are maximum rust resistance, low noise and a great look.
Nickel Plated Nickel is an alloy metal that is mainly used for steel finishing. It makes steel corrosion-resistant, increases its hardness and toughness and is very effective as a rust protection.
Ti-N Titanium nitride is a chemical compound of the elements titanium and nitrogen. The ceramic material, which is typically golden-yellow in color, is characterized by its very high hardness and corrosion resistance. The special titanium nitride coating from KMC not only looks fantastic, it also has an ultra-smooth surface and is extremely durable.
The KMC X9 Ti-N Gold chain is a high-performance chain suitable for both on-road and off-road use.
The extremely durable X9 9-speed chain from KMC is non-directional and features nickel-plated outer plates for 9-speed shifting systems.
