KMC Z1 Wide 1-Speed Chain | Ultimate Durability for Urban Cycling

Elevate your single-speed ride with the KMC Z1 Wide chain, the benchmark for strength, reliability, and all-weather performance. Engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of Urban Cycling, BMX, and fixed-gear riding, this chain is your ultimate partner for navigating city streets, hitting the track, or cruising with an internal gear hub. Forget the worries of chain drops and constant maintenance; the Z1 Wide is built to perform, so you can focus on the ride.

The standout benefit of the KMC Z1 Wide is its unparalleled reliability. Thanks to a heavy-duty construction and innovative anti-drop inner links, this chain provides a secure and stable connection to your drivetrain. This special design feature actively prevents the chain from derailing, even under the high torque of standing starts or when navigating bumpy urban terrain. This means more confidence, less frustration, and a safer, more consistent riding experience every time you pedal.

Built for the dedicated 1s (single-speed) cyclist, the Z1 Wide boasts exceptional longevity. Its robust structure is designed to resist stretching and wear, ensuring a longer lifespan and maintaining optimal performance for thousands of miles. This durability is further enhanced by KMC´s cutting-edge surface treatments. Whether you choose the advanced EPT anti-rust finish, the striking gold coating, or the classic nickel plating, your chain is protected against the elements. The EPT (EcoProTeQ) technology, in particular, offers double the rust resistance compared to standard coatings, making it the perfect choice for all-season commuters and riders who refuse to let a little rain stop them.

Experience a smoother, quieter ride. The precision engineering of the Z1 Wide ensures flawless engagement with your chainring and cog, reducing friction and operational noise. This translates to a more efficient transfer of power from your legs to the wheel, making every pedal stroke count. Its versatile 1/2" x 1/8" dimension makes it the ideal upgrade for a wide array of bicycles, from custom fixies and track bikes to dependable city commuters and BMX bikes.
