The wider 1/8" profile ensures a secure and positive engagement with your chainring and cog, minimizing the risk of chain drop and providing a confident, direct feel to your pedaling. KMC’s Z-Bridge outer plate configuration further enhances shifting performance on internal hub gears and ensures quiet, efficient operation. The high pin power and robust construction make it an ideal workhorse for daily commuters, bike messengers, and long-distance tourers who cannot afford a component failure.

Installation and maintenance are made simple with the inclusion of KMC´s renowned MissingLink connector. This reusable master link allows for tool-free chain removal and installation, making deep cleaning or roadside repairs a quick and hassle-free process. With 128 links, it provides ample length to fit a wide variety of frame sizes and gearing combinations.
